[15.50 GMT] BRIEF CPT UPDATES... Harmeet Singh Sooden has issued a brief statement through the Canadian government, and indicates that he will be speaking more fully on Friday. Norman Kember is seeking some respite, but is (unsurprisingly) being flooded by media offers. He is considering his options. Look out for a big story involving a UK church newspaper tomorrow, breaking sometime after midnight tonight. The issue of Christian peacemaking and the captives will be debated tomorrow night on BBC Radio 4's programme, 'The Moral Maze'. Tim Nafziger is appearing for CPT UK. He is certain to be attacked by irate columnist Melanie Philips. The major issue facing Jim Loney (pictured with Harmeet) at the moment, in addition to resettlement, concerns the fact that he was greeted on his return to Canada by his partner - and this means that people now know that he is gay. Sadly, this is likely to arouse hostility in some quarters. It is to be hoped and prayed that it does not impact his homecoming, just the addition of pink to yellow ribbons! Naturally his sexuality was not made public before, as this would certainly have imperilled his life. Things must have been particularly hard for his partner, who needs our support and prayers too.
