Dear PM

I would like to add my voice to the many who are campaigning for the release of the G17.

We are entering a New Millennium and it would be a good time to leave the past behind. The G17 have had 16 years to think about the unfortunate events which led them to be imprisoned. They have served enough time and have done so with dignity. They, their families and friends have suffered torment in those years and we join together to ask your government, which is one of the best, to make the momentous decision to set them free.

It would be a wonderful and humane act which would take us forward and make the world a more forgiving and generous place for the next generation.

I pray that you would listen to our requests and be kind enough to act accordingly.

Best regards for the coming year.
