Family Of UK Hostage Tell Captors: Contact Us

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 13 September 2014 | 10.18

The family of a British aid worker thought to be held by Islamic State militants have appealed for his captors to contact them.

IS extremists have threatened to kill Mr Haines and have not responded to any of the family's attempts to make contact so far.

A statement on behalf of the family released by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said: "We are the family of David Haines.

"We have sent messages to you to which we have not received a reply.

"We are asking those holding David to make contact with us."

Mr Haines, who was educated at Perth Academy secondary school, was taken while working for ACTED in Syria in March 2013.

He had worked as "a humanitarian" since 1999, helping people in the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa.

IS militants have beheaded two American journalists, posting the evidence online in videos featuring a masked jihadist with a British accent.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said the FCO will be doing "everything" they could to protect Mr Haines.

The 44-year-old has a teenage daughter in Scotland from a previous marriage and a four-year-old daughter in Croatia from his present marriage.

He was in Libya during its civil war in 2011, working as head of mission for Handicap International, which helps disabled people in poverty and conflict zones around the world.

ACTED has previously said that the threats made to the Scotsman's life were "intolerable".

In a statement, it said: "ACTED strongly condemns the violence and threats against David. A man's life should never be threatened on account of his humanitarian commitment."
