Letters: Vigil For Harmeet Sooden 6pm Monday
Dear Sir (Madam),
I am a personal friend of Harmeet Sooden kidnapped on the 26th of November. I am gathering friends for a vigil for Harmeet and his companions (Monday) at Aotea Square at 6:00 pm, every one is invited regardless of religion or political views. I only want to pray for the life of my dear friend and to see him out of harms way.
I can not say how important the presence of the media is in this vigil given the dead line of December 8th for their execution. It maybe our only possible way to have our plea heard by their captors in Iraq.
Thank you for your attention,
Sincerely,
Daniele Abreu e Lima PhD Student – University of Auckland
