Canadian hostage Joshua Boyle, the hostage released with his family in Pakistan after five years of captivity in Afghanistan, assured on arrival in Canada on Friday night that his Taliban-afflicted Haqqani kidnappers killed his daughter and raped his wife.

"The stupidity and evil of Haqqani in abducting a pilgrim and his pregnant wife, who went to help the villagers in the Taliban-controlled areas of Afghanistan, were only eclipsed by stupidity and evil in authorizing the murder of my daughter, martyr Boyle, because of my repeated refusal to accept an offer that the Haqqani network criminals had done to me, "said Joshua Boyle.

Reading a text before the cameras, the Canadian exrehen, on the verge of tears, said that his refusal had as a consequence "rape after (his) wife, not as a solitary action, but by a guardian assisted by the captain of the guardians and supervised by the commander of Haqqani Abu Hajar. "

In another message addressed to several Canadian media from Smith Falls, 80 km from Ottawa, where his parents reside, he said the family had finally arrived at "the real home" that his children had not known.

Boyle said his daughter's murder and rape of his wife, American Caitlan Coleman, in 2014 had been confirmed by an Afghan investigation in 2016.

"I certainly have no intention of allowing a brutal gang of criminals to dictate the future direction of my family," he added, without giving details of the demands of his kidnappers he rejected.

Released on Wednesday in Pakistan, Boyle, his wife and three of their children born in captivity in Afghanistan arrived Friday night at the Toronto airport.

The man considered it important for his family now to "build a safe sanctuary" that his "three surviving children can call home" and said to want to offer them, in addition to education, an environment that allows them "to recover a part of the childhood they lost."

• Helping a minority -
  Boyle claimed to have traveled to Afghanistan to help "the most forgotten minority in the world."

"Those ordinary villagers who live in remote areas of Taliban-controlled territories in Afghanistan, where no NGO, no aid worker, no government has ever been able to bring the necessary help," he said.

Joshua Boyle and Caitlan Coleman, married since 2011, were kidnapped by the Taliban soon after they entered Afghanistan in 2012. They were then handed over to the Allied Haqqani network in Pakistan.

The hostages were released during an operation by the Pakistani armed forces, after receiving information from the US intelligence services.

Contrary to information provided by the US military on Thursday, Boyle said he had not refused to be moved by the United States but expressed his willingness to join his family in Canada.

However, there are still unanswered questions about how Boyle and his pregnant wife came to the Taliban-controlled territory.

In this regard, Coleman's father verbally attacked his son-in-law in an ABC interview. "Bringing your pregnant woman to a very dangerous place, for me, and for the kind of person I am, is unacceptable," said Jim Coleman.

Boyle had been very committed to the defense of Omar Khadr, a Canadian captured in 2002 in Afghanistan at the age of 15 and long imprisoned at Guantanamo before being transferred to Canada and released, with whose sister, Zaynab Khad, Boyle married in 2009.

Upon arrival in the country, the Canadian government celebrated "the long awaited return" of the Boyle family.

"Canada played an active role at all levels in Mr. Boyle's case and will continue to support him and his relatives, now that they have returned to their country," the Foreign Ministry said.

On Thursday, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said Boyle was "not subject to any investigation" in Canada, and said no bailout had been paid for the release of the five family members.

The exrehens took a commercial flight Friday morning from Islamabad to London where they embarked later to Toronto.
