Rachel and Paul Chandler

Thanks to the help of both this site and the Facebook group, which now has 309 members (up from 70 on Friday), the message is spreading quickly about the Chandlers.  I just came across an article that was written on Saturday located at Kentonline.co.uk which talks about their story.  They reiterate that the pirates are getting very restless and there is a strong possibility they could be ‘killed within a week’.

Unfortunately, there has been no follow up video to the one released on Friday, however Im happy to see that more people are getting involved!  The more that get involved with this matter, the better chance Paul and Rachel Chandler will make it through unharmed.  Also, thank you to all those that have emailed at SaveTheChandlers@gmail.com with your support.

Family of British couple make appeal for their release

SomaliLandPress-announcementAccording to an article found here:  http://somalilandpress.com/9740/somalia-pirates-kidnapped-couples-family-urge-release/ 

The family of the kidnapped British sailors have pleaded for their release.   Im glad to see that they are trying to persuade the pirated to do the “humanitarian thing and let them go”, as quoted by BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner. 

According to reports it appears that they (the Chandlers) are very concerned about an Islamist group in Somalia called Al-Shabaab possibly ‘purchasing’ them and placing more demands.  

In a video released yesterday Mrs Chandler said: “We are told that there is a terrorist cell, or a fanatic cell, searching for us and we are also feeling very much under threat now that these people themselves won’t hesitate to take our lives.”
