A British couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, were kidnapped from their yacht in October by pirates. After this event, the pirates threatened the couple that if they didn't pay a ransom of $7 million, they'd be killed. In a video Paul was seen with people surrounding him and pointing at him with guns. Right now the British government denies to pay the ransom. Paul Chandler says that the pirates are losing patience and may kill the couple. In conclusion, if the goverment refuses to pay the ransom, the couple will die.

We think that its unfair for the couple to maybe be killed because of the goverment refusing to pay. We hope that the goverment won't make unthoughtful decisions and because of that the couple would die.
