Alan Johnston has today been captive for 99 days. You can still sign the petition for his release. For the 100th day tomorrow, BBC staff are planning a special vigil.
Hamas threatened to free him by violence recently and had set up some sort of deadline for his release, but it wasn't met, of course. But, a bit more noise has been made on the case in the last few days. I don't know if we dare hope, seeing the way Palestinian politics have been going, but still, we have to cling to hope - on all fronts.
I heard a reporter from Swedish radio (old link) saying recently they had been the first and for a long time the only media outlet to name the alleged captors, by the way!
Update Wednesday, after 100 days in captivity, a summary from Swedish radio P1.
