IRAQ: Love Your Enemies. Free the Captives. End the War

[The Iraqi group holding the four missing CPTers has extended their deadline
for the release of all Iraqi prisoners until Saturday, 10 December 2005.]

We remain concerned about the well-being of our team-mates Harmeet, James,
Norman, and Tom, and we ask for their release. We also remain concerned
about the well-being of all Iraqis who are suffering under occupation.

Those who are with our team-mates have demanded the release from captivity
of the Iraqi detainees held in United States' and Iraqi prisons.

Christian Peacemaker Teams believes that no single person, no single nation
can meet the demands of Justice.

No single person, no single nation can meet the demands of Peace.

But we believe that it is everyone's responsibility to do their part to
bring each combatant and each captive home to their families and to end the
war and occupation.

December 10th is International Human Rights Day.

Christian Peacemaker Teams calls for all people of conscience around the
world to initiate non-violent public actions for peace and for prayer on
December 10th in support of international human rights and in support of
ending war and occupation.
