We won an unprecedented pardon from then-President Karzai, and Gulnaz was freed.
Karzai did interfere with the negotiations at several points, in order to protect his own interests.
Abdullah already lost one election to widely-reported voting fraud, to Karzai in 2009.
He gathered 30 percent of the vote in 2009, but declined to participate in a run-off against Karzai.
As pressure mounted, President Karzai returned it for changes without signing.
