The BBC reports on rallies for missing BBC reporter Alan Johnston, reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Gaza two weeks ago but with no groups claiming responsibility since. A colleague who knew him when Johnston was the BBC reporter in Kabul writes that he "is a great guy and a terrific journalist, just the sort of colleague you'd want in a war zone... indeed anywhere... level-headed, softspoken, funny and fair." Colleagues are particularly concerned that nothing has been heard from the presumed kidnappers for two weeks. Obviously, one hopes for his safe and speedy return. More from CPJ.
