Saberi voices support for colleagues held in North Korea

Journalist Roxana Saberi, recently detained in Iran, asked us to release this statement on her behalf in response to the convictions of Laura Ling and Euna Lee in North Korea: "As a fellow journalist, I am shocked and saddened to hear about the heavy sentence handed to Laura Ling and Euna Lee. I hope that a way can be found to reunite them with their families as soon as possible and I will continue to pray for their swift release."

May Almighty bless them, they did what they should do. I hope like Miss Saberi she will find a way back to us. I urge all governments of the world to start serious dialogue with NK.
Kind regards
