Journalists come together in support of Alan Johnston


The journalistic community has called for kidnapped Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ correspondent Alan Johnston to be released in a full page advert in the Guardian newspaper on Monday 2 April 2007.

Well-known figures from print and broadcast journalism including Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Director-General Mark Thompson, Jeremy Paxman, David Dimbleby, Sir Trevor McDonald, Jon Snow, David Frost, Huw Edwards, John Humphrys and John Simpson joined national newspaper editors including the Daily Mail's Paul Dacre, the Guardian's Alan Rusbridger and Robert Thompson at The Times to pledge their support.

A wide range of correspondents, editors and presenters from the UK and abroad – including many who have worked with Johnston – have signed the 300-name petition.

The advert calls for Johnston to be released immediately and unharmed, noting that it has been 21 days since he was abducted.
