Being imprisoned (within the context of the article that's short for: being surrounded by an electric fence causing inability to leave) is one of few things that is stated as a fact (likely that was just a slip-up, since so many other claims were between quotes: at least some single or double quotes -- I couldn't detect any rationale to explain the seemingly inconsistency of choices throughout the article -- could have been put around "electric", ‘fence’, ‘inability" or "leave’). NB: if I was imprisoned in "that way" and then "set free", I'd consider myself rescued and not ‘rescued’. 

There's much more I dislike about the article but it's all similar. It should have been placed in the category  of "unsubstantiated and superficial opinions disguised as news".
