On Mother's Day, AMC re-aired the movie "Not Without My Daughter" (made in the 80's---I believe), a made-for-TV movie based on a true story. It illustrated many of the same things that are mentioned in this article, though the country was Iran.

I saw that showing of the movie "Not Without My Daughter" also, and then took the book out of the library and read it twice. In that wife's case, her Iranian husband had lived and worked in the USA for twenty years. The Iranian revolution radicalized him, and he kept his wife and daughter hostage when they visited his relatives in Iran. It is a fascinating read.
