French National and Children Rescued and Prepared for Return to France
法國公民及其子女獲救，準備返回法國
Introduction
Pakistani police have successfully rescued a French citizen and her five children from a home in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
巴基斯坦警方在西北部的開伯爾普赫圖赫瓦省的一處房屋中，成功救出一名法國公民及其五名子女。
Main Body
The rescue operation began after one of the children managed to leave the house and alert the local authorities. When police arrived at the mud-brick home in Bara, they found the family living in very poor conditions. Officers noted that the mother, Sylvie Yasmina, had facial injuries, and the children had several bruises. Consequently, the husband, Ahmad Khan, was arrested, and police have started a formal investigation into claims of long-term captivity and physical and emotional abuse.
此次救援行動始於其中一名子女成功離開家中並通知當地當局。當警方到達位於 Bara 的泥磚房屋時，發現該家庭生活在極其惡劣的環境中。警員注意到母親 Sylvie Yasmina 面部受傷，且孩子們身上有多處瘀傷。因此，丈夫 Ahmad Khan 被逮捕，警方已針對長期囚禁以及身體與情感虐待的指控展開正式調查。
According to the family's history, the couple married in 2003 and lived in Australia until 2014, when they moved to Pakistan. Yasmina claims that after the move, her husband effectively imprisoned the family by banning them from seeing other people and preventing the children from going to school. Furthermore, the three youngest children, who were born in Pakistan, had never been enrolled in any school.
根據該家庭的歷史，夫妻於 2003 年結婚，並居住在澳洲直到 2014 年移居巴基斯坦。Yasmina 聲稱在搬遷後，她的丈夫實際上將家人囚禁，禁止他們與他人接觸，並阻止孩子們就學。此外，在巴基斯坦出生的三名幼子從未入學就讀任何學校。
In response, the family was first taken to a women's police station and then moved to a shelter in Peshawar for their safety. Although the French embassy has not yet released an official statement, Pakistani authorities are working with diplomats to organize the family's return to France. Meanwhile, Shabina Ayaz from the Aurat Foundation emphasized that this case highlights the serious problem of domestic violence in the region and the need for better protection.
對此，該家庭首先被帶到女子警察局，隨後為了安全起見，被移至白沙瓦 (Peshawar) 的避難所。雖然法國大使館尚未發表正式聲明，但巴基斯坦當局正與外交官合作，安排該家庭返回法國。同時，來自 Aurat 基金會的 Shabina Ayaz 強調，此案例突顯了該地區家庭暴力的嚴重問題以及對更好保護措施的需求。
Conclusion
The victims are currently staying in a safe house while the official process to return them to France is completed.
受害者目前住在安全屋中，等待返回法國的正式程序完成。
