On the morning of March 4, 2016, Father Tom Uzhunnalil was praying in the chapel of an old age home in Aden, Yemen, where he was stationed, when he heard gun shots. He saw the security guards lying in a pool of blood. He was witness to the deaths of four nuns, two staff of the old age home and a young boy. The men tied him up and put him in the boot of a car. He was shifted to four different places and spent 566 days in captivity, before he was released.
Father Uzhunnalil recalled his time in captivity, how the power of prayer helped him last the ordeal and that his captors didn’t ill-treat him. Read the full story here.
