UN “Concerned” for Captured Brits
Perhaps they were to busy writing yet another resolution condemning Israel for wanting to exist, but the UN managed to squeeze in a statement voicing “grave concern” over the kidnapping by Iran:
The UN Security Council has agreed a statement voicing “grave concern” at Iran’s capture of 15 British sailors.
It also calls on Tehran to allow the UK consular access to the personnel, but stops short of “deploring” Iran’s action, as requested by the UK.Iran, which the UK later confirmed had sent it a note, said it was not helpful to try to engage third parties.
Liberal Democrat’s repsonse:
Sir Menzies Campbell, the Liberal Democrat leader, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the note may contain “matters of substance” which may be the beginning of a “proper exchange” and could “offer the possibility of a solution”.
Conservative Party leader’s response:
Responding to the UN statement, David Cameron, the Conservative leader, said: “Really there’s only one right outcome to this which is for Iran to release those people that they took captive, that they should be released without any further ado. It’s as clear and as simple as that.”
If you were a family member or loved one of one of the kidnapped Brits, which response would give you some hope ?
