Comment: It makes you wonder just how many people all over the world are being held in similar circumstances. The Frizl case in Austria, Jaycee Dugard and the Ohio hostages in the US spring to mind. Let's hope this snowballs into a global release.

Three women rescued from a house after allegedly being held as slaves for 30 years were kept in "horrific conditions", a charity has said.
Freedom Charity said it had been called by a woman who said she and two others were being held in south London.
A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a Briton, 30, were rescued on 25 October, it emerged on Thursday.
A 67-year-old man and woman, understood to be married, were arrested in Lambeth and later bailed until January.
Det Insp Kevin Hyland, from the Metropolitan Police's human trafficking unit, said: "These women are highly traumatised, having been held in servitude for at least 30 years with no real exposure to the outside world, and, trying to find out exactly what has happened over three decades will understandably take some time."

Can
you imagine spending your entire life in one house? No trips out, no
interaction with outsiders, not experiencing the freedom to walk up the
street.
Yet another case of women being kept prisoners in a house, this time in London, is emerging. Three women, one of them believed to have been born in the house have been rescued by police.
Details are sketchy at this point, the women are said to be highly traumatized after their ordeal. (source)
The case bears similarities to several other cases in recent years: The Ohio hostages, the Frizl case in Austria and the Jaycee Dugard case are all similar in that women were held prisoner and gave birth to a child while in captivity.
