Giuliana Sgrena quotes:

I was set free because the negotiations were successful, because there were people lobbying for my freedom, and because hundreds of thousands took to the streets in Rome for my freedom.

I beg you, put an end to the occupation. I beg the Italian government and the Italian people to put pressure on the government to pull out.

One thing is clear: My life is completely different than it was before the kidnapping.

How a kidnapping ends depends to a large degree on who the kidnappers are.
