This list only begins to name the thousands of individuals and groups
who joined CPT’s interwoven efforts to seek safety for four peacemakers
held captive in Baghdad and peace for Iraqis held captive by war and
occupation.
“…for all those who thought about and prayed for us, for all those
who spoke for us when we had no voice, I am forever and truly
grateful.” – Jim Loney
“I do not believe that a lasting peace is achieved by armed force, but
I pay tribute to the courage [of British soldiers] and thank those who
played a part in my release…” – Norman Kember
“I would like to express my gratitude for the prayers and
support…from communities worldwide. I am grateful to all those
involved in the operation that ultimately led to our freedom.” –
Harmeet Sooden
“CPT has been surrounded and upheld by a great outpouring of
compassion. Strong and courageous actions from Muslim brothers and
sisters throughout the world stand at the forefront of that support.
We are profoundly grateful.” – CPT Co-Directors, Carol Rose and Doug
