Gula, an Afghan who was photographed at a Pakistani refugee camp when she was 12 years old, was identified in 2002 when the NatGeophotographer, Steve McCurry, went searching for her. He found her when he went back to the same camp from 17 years earlier.

Two hours ago, I got word from a friend in Peshawar, Pakistan, that Sharbat Gula has been arrested. We are doing everything we can to get the facts by contacting our colleagues and friends in the area. I am committed to doing anything and everything possible to provide legal and financial support for her and her family. I object to this action by the authorities in the strongest possible terms. She has suffered throughout her entire life, and her arrest is an egregious violation of her human rights. - Steve McCurry

Last year it was reported that Gula was living in Pakistan with an illegal ID card with her two sons. The same issue appears to be at the center of the latest arrest.

AFP reported Gula was taken into custody by Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) following a two-year investigation into her and her husband for having fake ID cards.

Apparently her husband eluded authorities.
