Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Kidnapped Peruvian Journalist Released in Gaza

HeadlineJan 08, 2007

In Gaza, the kidnapped Peruvian journalist Jaime Razuri has been released — nearly a week after being seized by gunmen. The 50-year-old Razuri was on assignment for Agence France-Presse. He was set free on Sunday.

Jaime Razuri: “That’s what I can say. … I can’t — it’s too much for me to have more words than this right now, as you could understand, so just to say that I am very happy to be released by the action they have took. … So that’s all. Thank you very much to all of you to take care of what was going on with me all these days.”

No group has taken responsibility for the kidnapping.
