Media Images 42815000 Jpg 42815149 Alan Johnston2The BBC is asking bloggers and website publishers to post a button in support of Alan Johnston, a BBC journalist missing in Gaza, presumed kidnapped. Johnston was the last international journalist reporting from Gaza, and was highly respected, even by many Palestinians. Remember Jill Carroll, the Christian Science Monitor journalist kidnapped in Iraq who was released safely? International pressure does work.

BBC correspondent Alan Johnston disappeared on his way home from his Gaza City office on 12 March. He is feared kidnapped in the lawless territory, where he is thought to have been the only international correspondent still working. Intensive efforts have been made to secure his release.

Here’s instructions how to add the link to your blog.

    It is getting more and more horrifying that Alan Johnston remains missing.
    Terry Waite returned home.

    It is only political intolerance and revenge which made these people take this innocent person prisoner. All Alan did was his job. Please, please – what can the ordinary person – such as myself do to help alleviate such a vile situation?

    If there IS a God, then Alan will return home (relatively unharmed!) I sincerely hope that it WON’T be “THE GOD THAT LET IT HAPPEN.”

    Yours truly,
