Alan Johnston
By Huw Leslie | April 19, 2007
The BBC is asking bloggers to put a banner on their sidebar as part of its campaign to get Alan Johnston, the Gaza correspondent who was kidnapped over a month ago, released. I’ve done that (see for instructions), and I’ve also signed the petition.
I’d encourage everyone else to do the same. Whilst it doesn’t actually do anything to get him released directly, I think it is important that as many people as possible point out that it is not acceptable to kidnap a person doing his best to report the story of a region as accurately as possible. We need to show that this matters, and that we are not going to let the matter drop.
