On Friday, The New Yorker published a video of Frerichs pleading for his release -- the first time the Illinois native has been seen in years.
"Anees and I wish to thank everyone who worked tirelessly to secure our release as well as everyone who has supported the humanitarian efforts of our organization Human First Coalition," Rauf said in his statement."At this time, we are looking forward to reuniting with our family and loved ones and ultimately, I hope we can continue to advocate for and seek ways to serve the Afghan people in this critical time of need in Afghanistan.
