Remember the journalists who didn’t survive…

All of us at Shiraz Socialist share in the relief and joy that Alan Johnston’s colleagues, friends and family naturally and quite properly  feel at his release. Our only caveats would be, not to give Hamas too much credit for the release (after all, it was allies of Hamas who kidnapped him in the first place), and secondly, to remember all the other journalists in recent years, who have not survived: and especially this heroine, killed by the fascist  barbarians of the Taliban, not just for being a journalist, but also for being a woman.
