[Korea.net News, Foreign Relations, July 26 2007] Cyber petition launched for release of Korean hostages

An online petition calling for the release of Koreans held as hostages in Afghanistan is gaining attention.

"Taliban Leaders: Free The Hostages," wrote Avaaz.org, an online social movement site, "If any more are killed, it could force aid agencies to pull out of Afghanistan -- denying the millions of Afghanis the help they need after years of war."
