In late August of 2011, I was
driving to my office in Lahore, Pakistan, when I was dragged from my car at gunpoint and kidnapped by a group of Taliban-affiliated terrorists.
Just seven months earlier, my father, Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab Province, had been shot dead by his guard. For almost five years I was held captive, moved ever-deeper into the lawless Hindu Kush, frequently tortured and forced to endure extreme cruelty, my fate resting on my kidnappers’ impossible demands and the uneasy alliances between my captors, the Taliban and ISIS.
Lost to the World is the true story of my time in captivity, and of my escape. It is a story of extraordinary faith, bravery and sorrow, with moments of kindness, humour and empathy, offering a hopeful light in the dark years of my imprisonment. While deeply harrowing, this tale is also about resilience. This story is a testament to the enduring power of the human sprit.
