A French woman has been rescued in Pakistan after 12 years of captivity, with British consular officials providing assistance during the operation. The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was found in a remote area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to Pakistani authorities. The rescue followed a joint effort by French and Pakistani intelligence agencies, with logistical support from the British High Commission in Islamabad.
The woman is believed to have been taken while travelling in the region in 2012. She is now receiving medical care and is in a stable condition. The case raises questions about the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation in resolving long-term hostage situations.
French diplomats have confirmed they are working to reunite her with family. No further details have been released regarding her captors or the circumstances of her release.
