139. The Vanishing of Shafelia Ahmed

from The Desi Crime Podcast · host Desi Studios

If there is any one thing common to all humans, regardless of race or age or ethnicity or the time period in which we lived, it is our longing for freedom. Freedom from coercion, freedom from oppression, freedom to choose, freedom to live. But sometimes, this freedom comes at a cost, a cost we don’t even know we need to pay until it's far too late. Freedom is all one 17 year old Pakistani British girl longed for and freedom is what she never got. This is the story of that one 17 year old. This is the story of Shafelia Ahmed.  For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios
