The Libyan government released the four journalists on March 21, 2011.

She reports that she was threatened with death and repeatedly groped during her captivity by the Libyan Army.

In November 2011, The New York Times wrote a letter of complaint on behalf of Addario to the Israeli government, after allegations that Israeli soldiers at the Erez Crossing had strip-searched and mocked her and forced her to go through an X-ray scanner three times despite knowing that she was pregnant.

Addario reported that she had "never, ever been treated with such blatant cruelty."

The Israeli Defence ministry subsequently issued an apology to both Addario and The New York Times.

A few days later, the woman who was killed was identified, and her children who died were her 18 year old son and 9 year old daughter.
