"Madam President, last year, journalists throughout the world suffered a record number of kidnappings and deaths. We now have a duty to ensure that that record is not beaten in 2007, and we have an obligation to help bring about the release of Alan Johnston. My thoughts go out to his immediate and extended family and to his colleagues, and I have to say that I have high hopes of his being released. We know that Palestinian leaders condemn the kidnapping and that the kidnappers do not have the support of the Palestinian people. We know that they understand that Alan Johnston has done more than anyone to report on their suffering over a period of 16 years. Armed with these factors, we too can help bring about his release. I have been in Gaza myself and know how difficult the situation is there. However, it is by ensuring the presence of as many journalists as possible there and making sure that as many journalists as possible write about what is happening that those in Gaza have the best chance of getting us all to help improve the situation of the people. Because the Palestinian people know that the kidnapping in question is contrary to their interests, I am certain that the kidnappers will not receive any support and that they will, in the end, have to release Alan Johnston."@en1
