Plea to the Somalis in UK for help in the release of Paul and Rachel Chandler

We plea to all Somalis living in UK to contribute for the release of the Chandlers held by the Somali pirates in Somalia.

The chandlers have been held by the Somali pirates since Oct. 22, 2009 . The chandlers who are aged 60 and 58 are in poor health and are held in dangerous area of Somalia.

Some of the pirate’s relatives live and prosper in UK as refugees. These pirates are demanding £4 million to release chandlers. The latest pictures posted in the web show the fragile status of both the chandlers who are held at separate locations in Somalia -Read :

We condemn the holding of the chandlers for ransom, but consider the position of the British government not to pay ransom to pirates.

We, therefore, call for all Somalis living in UK to contribute towards the release of the Chandlers either by contacting the relatives of the pirates who are holding the chandlers or contribute towards the payment of the requested ransom.

We understand these pirate’s actions do not depict the true culture of the Somali society and its heritage. We believe that these thugs are greedy and selfish and are working on their own. We call upon all Somalis to help the chandlers and work towards their early release. We also call upon all concerned to sign this petition which targets the British Government, Somali TFG and USA :http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/petition-free-paul-and-rachel-chandler#signatures

We call Paul and Rachel Chandler be released immediately and unconditionally.
