VATICAN CITY, JUL 29, 2007 (VIS) - Following today's Angelus at Castelgandolfo, the Pope made an appeal for the liberation of 22 Korean hostages held in Afghanistan since July 19.
"There is a growing practice among armed groups to use innocent people to achieve their own particular ends. This is a serious violation of human dignity that contrasts with all elemental norms of civility and legality and represents a grave offence to divine law. I address an appeal to the perpetrators of such criminal acts to desist from the evil they do and to release their victims unharmed."
