Kidnapped photojournalist Shiraaz Mohamed has made contact with his ex-wife after escaping from his captors in Darkoush, Syria.

Mohamed’s former wife, Shaaziya Brijlal, said Mohamed had made contact with her on Saturday, while with a group who helped him escape.

“We have secure and reliable information that the people who helped Shiraaz have delivered him into Turkey. On Saturday Shiraaz did call me, he voiced and then video- called me at about one o’clock. “He said he was with a group of people and he was making his way to the border. These people are obviously helping him, because while we were talking, he was greeting some of them or they were greeting him.

“He sounded well. He sounded strong and he was a little anxious. He didn’t want anyone to know what was happening. He made it quite clear at that time, he didn’t want anyone to know that this was happening. He did promise that he was going to phone me once he reaches Turkey. So we are all waiting anxiously for that call.”
