The heavy security placed on the villa by Pakistani police is noticeable in the video. Bin Laden's family is held in a windowless room in the basement.
The women in the video are covered in the traditional hijab worn by Muslim women as they are shown reading from the Koran. Meanwhile, bin Laden's children are seen playing with toys and running around the house.
A Pakistani court sentenced bin Laden’s three widows and two of his daughters to a month and a half in prison for illegal residency in the country.
According to the Arabic news network, they will eventually be deported from the country on April 18.
