He stated: “All of them were released. They said some were dead there and my daughter is alive but they cannot release her because she is a Christian.

“They gave her the option of converting in order to be released, but she said she will never become a Muslim. I am very sad, but I am also jubilating too because my daughter did not denounce Christ."
