Video interview about the feelings hostages may have after release
This video focuses on supporting children during a kidnapping
For hostages – including those who have been arbitrarily or wrongfully detained – returning from captivity is not the end of their journey.
Information on the type of support governments can provide to their nationals in the wake of a kidnap incident can usually be found on the foreign affairs department website.
Kidnapping has occurred for many centuries; it is the act of unlawfully abducting someone and holding them against their will, often in an undisclosed location.
