An Afghan woman who was imprisoned for 25 years in a room has been rescued by security forces.

The lady - thought to be around 50 - was allegedly jailed by her brothers after she went back to their property after a divorce.

She was rescued from her cramped, disgusting dungeon in a neighborhood of Kabul. She is now recovering from her ordeal in hospital.

Meanwhile, her four brothers have been arrested.
