In this Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011 file photo, 15-year-old Sahar Gul, is carried into hospital in Baghlan north of Kabul, Afghanistan.

Police freed her last week after her uncle called authorities. Horrific images of Sahar, bruised and bloodied, captured on video, transfixed Afghanistan and set off a storm of condemnation.
