Freed Abu Sayyaf hostages leaving for Europe tonight

From ABS-CBN (Oct 21): Freed Abu Sayyaf hostages leaving for Europe tonight

The two German nationals released by the Abu Sayyaf Group on the night of October 17 are set to leave for Europe on Tuesday evening.

Airport sources said Stefan Okonek and Henrike Dielen were assisted by the staff of the German embassy for their non-appearance check-in at the counter of Etihad Airlines at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1.

The commercial flight is scheduled to depart for Europe at 7:10 p.m.

The German embassy has requested that media not be allowed to take photos or videos of the departing couple.

The German embassy also deployed its own security personnel to prevent journalists from interviewing the two German nationals.

Okonek and Dielen, both on wheelchairs, were spotted at the dignitaries lounge of NAIA Terminal 1. They slipped into the airport through the tarmac area.
