Kidnapped, tortured and the power of radio: the story of Shahbaz Taseer

Shahbaz Taseer was kidnapped, held captive and tortured for nearly five years. One thing that kept Shahbaz going was his love of Manchester United. Shahbaz was kept up to date on news at the club, after one of his guards brought in a radio and tuned it to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service. Every weekend, Sportsworld helped keep Shahbaz up to date with all things Premier League. He sat down with Lee James, Sportsworld presenter, to chat about his time in captivity and his new memoir.
