I am and will always be incredibly grateful to those who worked for my release when I was held hostage by an armed faction in Iraq earlier this month. So many people – including but not limited to government officials, press freedom organisations, and my wonderful community of fellow journalists and friends - put an immense amount of effort into ensuring that the level of attention to my case remained high. Thank you all so very, very much.
