On September 11, 2011, Miskinyar was attending a business meeting when he was abducted and held at gunpoint for approximately seven hours. He posted a media statement later in the week detailing how he was "interviewed" in a propaganda video and forced to denounce his work and political beliefs. His abductors have yet to be brought to justice.{{cite news|url=http://capitolmediapartners.com/inthenews/2011/09/16/client-news-afghan-american-media-executive-abducted-and-interviewed-at-gunpoint | title=capitolmediapartners.com}}
