Recommendation 3
3
Repeat call for immediate release of all hostages and support information collection.
Recommendation
The Government must repeat its call for the immediate and unconditional release of all the hostages and the bodies of those who have died in captivity. The taking, holding in captivity, torture, sexual abuse and murder of hostages is despicable and every effort should be made for the release of all the hostages. At the same time, the Government should support relevant international agencies in collecting and retaining information on all those organisations and individuals involved in hostage-taking, in preparation for future criminal proceedings. (Recommendation, Paragraph 20) 51
