Paul and Rachel Chandler captured Oct 22, 2009 by Somali Pirates
Thanks to the Huffingtonpost, I found this picture of Paul and Rachel. According to their article, the couple said they were fearful they will be killed or handed to a terrorist group if a ransom is not paid soon. Paul said he has, “no doubt that they will not hesitate to kill us in a week or so from now”, filmed by a Channel 4 crew.
I have a feeling that this blog may start a debate about the pros and cons of paying a ransom. Both our governments choose to NOT participate and it makes sense as to why this is the case. This, however, doesnt prevent individuals from helping in any way they can!
