Ive read Zana's & Miriums books & i get angrier the more times i read them. I just read them for the 4th time and still im disgusted at the father and the British government equally.
I was kidnapped when i was 3 & being an Australian with a yugoslave father & Aussie mum, to think this could've happened 2 me.....my country got me out after 3mths. What Britain continues 2 allow happen is simply criminal. Nadia is as English as i am Australian, how can Britain allow Nadia 2 suffer, AGAINST HER WILL i will never know. I wish i could do something. It breaks my heart. My love, prayers & wishes go to Zana, Mirium and of course Nadia. Tija xx

I want to say that its true that Nadia is still in the Yemen,and not as the person claiming to be a member of the Muhsen family in the UK happy and living her life.
Nadia doesn't have a life or at least no free will because that was took from her in 1981 when she was tricked by her oh so lovely dad and family to go on a Holiday to Yemen,was married and sold off,and that was the last time she set eyes on the Rotunda tower in Birmingham,1981 when she was just 14.
And yes she may have said in public its her own choice to stay in Yemen,wouldn't anyone if they knew there was a good beating in store for them if they didn't,oh and also a good beating for her kids to show her the error of her ways or so to speak.
People can be very uneducated on this topic and it has took a strong person such as Zana,and their mum Miriam to tell what happened,is still happening,and will continue because theres not enough people in the governments that care,even though Nadia is a full British subject,and was when it happened.
If with this case and many others like it,there was more doing something and not just thinking and saying action that can be took,people like Nadia can be kept safe from this continuing to happen,and by the persons own family.

I have just finished SOLD and until i get to read the second one - i looked to see if anything had changed . I'm shoked to see that Nadia is still there. i'm even more shoked to read one of the viewer here that said that not all is white and black and she probably wants to stay there - have you not read the book? she will not leave her kids - why the UK not letting her husband come with her ???? that will solve the all thing. Red Tape - the most terrible problem of our modern world.
Does anyone know if Zana has a web site? will keep looking.
just wanted to strengthen Zana's hands from Israel. your voice is heard all over the world!!
Wish there was more we could do!

I cannot believe she wásn't forced to stay.. (they wouldn't let her leave with the children, thats for sure). If you're practically dying and forced to have one baby after another...
I'm willing to believe she is a true muslim, but not that she is/was there in Yemen out of free will/voluntairy. I really hope that she is back in the UK, with the children i hope, and wish them all the best..

I understand that u have all read the 1st book(sold) but have u all read the follow up?
In the 2nd book it shows this lady is now a true muslim woman, who loves her family. u r going on that Yemen is this bad place, but have u all been there? do u no all the facts? This girl was asked publicly if she wanted 2 come back 2 the UK and she said she wud not go anywere without her family. Yemen has its trouble like any other country and probably more! But this girl accepted Allah and the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), dont you ever wonder weather she did this because of her own beliefs and not because she was "forced" to?
If her life was so bad then why is she still alive? You people need to reliase that there is 2 sides 2 every story, and it sickens me that u all pick the most synical story 2 believe! if this story is true then this woman (Allah have Mercy on her) will as she knows get her reward in her next life, but plz ppl remember not everthing is as black and white as it seems, and not everything we read is true.

i cant explain words what i feel. the book "sold" was passed on to me by co-worker and from the time i began it till the second i finished-just now- my heart feels heavy. i hope in all my heart that nadia is ok, i pray that things for your family get as close to normality as possible. i read some info on wiki pedia that i think is false. you should get that changed. ive grown to love you zana, and your every bit of woman i hope to also be...you are an inspiration

I've just finished SOLD too. I am wondering the same thing. Perhaps we should email Eileen at the Observer (If she is still working there). That or write letters to the Yemen emabssy in London. Surely if Nadia has dual citizenship and wishes to come home to where she was born she should be granted. Maybe, its the matter of getting Amnesty International to petition her release??

Zana and family. I'm from Australia and have just finished reading SOLD & PROMISE TO NADIA and I am so saddened and shocked to realise this is still going on. It is unacceptable that Nadia has not been rescued and given the chance to live a normal life of raising her children like we all have, not to mention that you shouldnt have been taken away in the first place. Please know that our thoughts and love are with you. Have you had any postive progress??
