今年の3月12日、Gaza 地区で誘拐された Alan Johnston 氏がようやく解放された。
・BBC's Gaza correspondent released （2007年7月4日 bbc.co.uk）
つーか、Hamas のコメントから 2週間遅れの解放かよ・・・（苦笑）。
Hamas が今回の解放に、どれだけ力を発揮したかを疑わざるを得ないぞ。
にしても、Johnston 氏が拘束されている間の扱いは良くなかったようだ。
長くなるけど、彼の発言も含めて一部引用。
＞He described his experience of captivity as "appalling" and "occasionally quite terrifying".
＞"It became quite hard to imagine normal life again," he said.
＞"The last 16 weeks have been the very worst of my life," he added.
＞"I was in the hands of people who were dangerous and unpredictable."
＞"I literally dreamt many times of being free and always woke up back in that room."
＞Mr Johnston said he was not tortured during captivity but he did fall ill from the food he was served.
＞He added that he had been kept in four different locations, two of them only briefly.
＞He was able to see the sun in the first month but was then kept in a shuttered room until a week before his release, he said.
＞He was kept in chains for 24 hours but was not harmed physically until the last half hour of his captivity, when his captors hit him "a bit".
117日間拘束されてりゃ人生で最悪の日々、と思うのも無理はないわな。
とりあえず、Johnston 氏には当分の間休養をとって欲しい。
色々な意味で。
