Born in 1953, Malika Oufkir was the eldest daughter of General Oufkir, the King of Morocco's closest aide.

Malika, her five younger brothers and sisters. and her mother were immediately imprisoned in a desert penal colony. After fifteen years, the last ten of which they spent locked up in solitary cells, the Oufkir children managed to dig a tunnel with their bare hands and make an audacious escape. Recaptured after five days, Malika was finally able to leave Morocco and begin a new life in exile in 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA heartrending account in the face of extreme deprivation and the courage with which one family faced its fate, Stolen Lives is an unforgettable story of one woman's journey to freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New York: Talk Miramax\/Hyperion,","offers":[{"title":"Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail | Malika Oufkir | Hardcover | 9780786867325 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1765614","offer_id":49375041847448,"sku":"1765614","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71ILWL9YSnL.jpg?v=1783004920","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/stolen-lives-twenty-years-in-a-desert-jail","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
