After enduring nearly eight months under dire conditions and false promises of a brighter future, the youth seized his opportunity for freedom on October 20, determined to leave behind the disillusionment associated with insurgent life, it stated.

The homecoming ceremony was marked by an emotional reunion with his parents, who had long feared they might never see their son again, it added.
