A North American couple captured by the Taliban-tied Haqqani Network in Afghanistan was purportedly seen on video pleading for their governments to intervene on their behalf with their captors.
(FOX)- The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Monday, purportedly shows Canadian Joshua Boyle and American Caitlan Coleman, who were kidnapped in Afghanistan in 2012.
Coleman refers to “the Kafkaesque nightmare in which we find ourselves” and urges “governments on both sides” to reach a deal for their freedom. She then adds: “My children have seen their mother defiled.”
Two young children appear in the video with them, and Coleman has told her family that she gave birth to two children in captivity.
Canadian Global Affairs spokesman Michael O’Shaughnessy said his government was aware of the latest video.
