Free Alan ...
One month on, many protests in the Palestinian territories, as well as the British government meeting a Hamas member for the first time and still no word on the where abouts of Alan Johnston who was ironically in the final weeks of his posting to Gaza.
Today the BBC is holding a day of action to publicise his plight. In London poster sites will be unveiled and a special programme is being simulcast on BBC World, BBC News 24, Sky News and Al Jazeera English. This will go on air from Ramallah at 1430 BST (1330 GMT) anchored by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East Editor.
It will incorporate packages from the BBC, Al-Jazeera, CNN, and Sky. It will also have live reports from BBC, Al-Jazeera and Sky anchors and correspondents in Ramallah, Gaza and London.
A recent BBC news online petition received over 8,000 signatures to free Alan. You can leave your message of support here.
