• January 13, 2000 - We recieve a mail from Yemen Times,who decided to launch a huge campaign about Nadia's case and try to reveal the secrets due to the tremendously strong demand by there readers to publish a report in this regards
  
  
• An organisation which has recently merged with Lost Children International, which is called R E T U R N - this stands for Remember Everyone Taken Unlawfully, Remember Nadia, this group is campaigning for Nadia's release from slavery in Yemen and are currently planning a march through the streets of Birmingham where Nadia grew up.
  
• Nadia is extremely ill, she now weights six stone and has six children
  
• They very nearly had her husband talked into going to England with her and the 6 children but when her brother turned up with all the tickets he changed his mind.
  
• Zana also paid mercenaries over 250,000 pounds to get her out but they fed her all sorts of stories over a period of 2 years and took her money and ran.
  
• Nadia’s oldest girl is coming of a marriageable age and that has them all worried
  
• Also, last time the Embassy staff went to check on Nadia, her husband sent someone in Nadia’s place. She was wearing a veil and couldn’t speak English very well, so who knows what has happened over there
  
• In 1994, an agreement is secured between the Yemnin Ambassador, London ansd a British Peer. This agreement entails the release of Nadia, her children and Marcus her nephew, and safe passage to Britain, for a holiday at least. After securing this agreement, the pending legal action was dropped, in a gesture of goodwill, however, due to elections at that time Yemen, and the subsequent war between North and South, this agreement had been "misplaced"
  
• Miriam, Nadia's mother, send to me a fax from Mo, Nadia's brother, when he was in Yemen, in 1996. He saw Nadia and he describe her like a zombie and she would prefer to forgot the last 16 yrs. She want to come home, but it's up to "him", her "husband".
