In 1941, a Polish lieutenant and six others that had escaped from a Siberian Gulag camp began a long journey south on foot (about 6,500km), traveling through the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and the Himalayas before finally reaching British India in the winter of 1942. The distances you are talking about seem wrong. You are saying they are barely a half marathon away from Pakistan. If that was true, they should have walked a long time ago. That is hardly a grueling distance. Personally, there is no distance I wouldn’t walk if it was the only way to save my life. Either way, better to die knowing you were heading toward freedom than imprisoned waiting to be decapitated, tortured, or worse. Because if not, you will certainly die with regret.
