Accra, Ghana, Ghana
Police stopped the bus Mahad was being held captive and transported in, found her chained under the seats and released her. Differing media accounts regarding the cause of her attempted enslavement led to little if any action pursuing her captor and her would-be owner. Mahad is now recovering with the aid of a women's help group in Accra.
