20 May

Late last night a new video clip containing an appeal from the seven Estonian citizens abducted in Lebanon was received. It was most likely filmed on 16 May. The video clip reveals that all the Estonians are alive and well as they make an appeal intended to put pressure on the Estonian government. No concrete demands or requirements for resolving the situation are made in the video. The Estonian government continues to work together with the Lebanese authorities and its other partners to free the abducted Estonian citizens.
