Sorry just to clarify: they are still currently being held by those, who kidnapped them?

No they were released 259 days after capture. However, they did go into a dangerous area of pakistan and at the checkpoints within Pakistan they put down their occupation as police (or something like that)

Pakistan is a fairly safe and amazing place to visit. I spent 6 months travelling around and had no trouble. In Fact it is one of my favorite countries i've ever been to.

However, If you go into Pakistan, you must ask the local police which way you should go and also never put down an occupation that has something to do with police, army, pilot etc. You are being watched the moment you get into Pakistan until you leave.
