As you may have seen, reports are coming in that the Iranian President has just said he intends to free and pardon the hostages "as a gift to Britain".
We are awaiting further confirmation of the genuine release of the hostages before making any decisions about this evening. We will update again soon.
In 2007 we campaigned to "Free the Navy 15" - the sailors and marines kidnapped by Iran. Now, they have done it again, taking hostage five British leisure sailors. Join our campaign to Free the Iran 5!

- In 2007, when Iranian forces kidnapped 15 Royal Navy sailors and Royal Marines at gunpoint, a group of private individuals set up "Free the Navy 15" to campaign for their release. At the time we warned that Iran would be tempted to take British hostages again in future if Britain was seen to tolerate hostage-taking. Sadly, Iran has now repeated the action by taking hostage five British leisure sailors hostage on 15th November 2009. Like millions of others we were discussing over a pint how outrageous Iran's actions are, and we thought: why not do something about it? We organised protests outside the Iranian embassy last time they took British hostages and are willing to do so again if the Iranian authorities use these new hostages as a political tool rather than returning them swiftly. Keep checking here for news of our planned protests, and email us at freethenavy15@gmail.com to join our mailing list.

You've linked to the BBC, that well known hub of leftist appeasers. Can we trust the BBC in their analysis of the situation? Perhaps 'free and pardon the hostages' when quoted from the BBC actually means he is going to behead them after ensuring they swear allegiance to the ummah? ;)
seriously the captives have been freed, they are on their way to the British Embassy. (I do agree that the BBC are quite left).
Besides, Sky news reported it....
