A hostage is an individual who is captured and held against their will, often to compel a third party to act or refrain from acting in a certain way, typically during a crisis or conflict. Hostage situations can arise in various contexts, including criminal acts, terrorism, or political disputes. The safety and well-being of the hostage are usually at significant risk, and negotiations for their release often involve complex ethical and legal considerations.
