Excellent news indeed :)

"It is the most fantastic thing to be free," he said.

He described his experience of captivity as "appalling" and "occasionally quite terrifying".

"It became quite hard to imagine normal life again," he said.

"I literally dreamt many times of being free and always woke up back in that room."

Must have been a horrendous experience.

Stan :)

Hooray... I am so glad he's managed to come out of this alive :)

[Tak]

Have to admit to being surprised but its all good news

[Daz]

Excellent news :)

Although terrifying at the time, it must be the most euphoric and life-changing feeling to have gone so long knowing his time might be up any second and to finally be rid of that constant doubt and worry.

It might sound strange but I'm genuinely envious of that, although I certainly wouldn't want to go through what he did to acheive it.

For all the sad news and tragedy we see in Palestine, this is such a break in the clouds.

fantastic news.

[Matblack]

Very pleased, we signed the petitions and stuff but there isn't much you can do but watch and hope. Luckily this one turned out for the best.
