It gives me great pleasure to repeat, as first announced by the Assyrian Human Rights Network and then reported by AP:
Activists say IS group releases 37 Syrian Christian captives
Islamic State militants on Saturday released 37 Syrian Christians, mostly women, who were among more than 200 people from the Assyrian minority group abducted in February, activists said. [ .. ]
The Assyrian Human Rights Network posted pictures on its Facebook page of the newly freed Christians arriving in the predominantly ethnic Assyrian village of Tal Tamr, in the northeastern Hassakeh province.
The photos show a woman kissing the hand of an elderly woman in tears, and a priest greeting the former captives in a church ceremony.
