LIZ LYNNE MEP 'DELIGHTED' AT JOHNSTON RELEASE

July 4, 2007 12:30 PM

Liz Lynne MEP, Member of the European Parliament's Human Rights Committee and co-author of a European Parliamentary resolution in April 2007 for the release of BBC journalist Alan Johnston, has expressed delight and relief at his release early on Wednesday morning.

Liz, a long time campaigner for the rights of the Palestinian people, said:

"This is obviously great news for Alan's family and friends and all those who have campaigned for his release."

"Let us hope that this is the start of a new phase in the Middle-East and will persuade the European Union and other international bodies to start talking to Hamas, because only through dialogue can we achieve a long-lasting peace"

ENDS
