No further details can be divulged due to ongoing negotiations, as "it would endanger the process of the release itself", said our source.
The External Affairs Ministry of India is also working tirelessly to obtain the release of Sr. Rema, the sole surving Sister of Charity of the terrorist attack in Yemen. Minister Swaraj also informed the delegation that the continued spreading of rumours that Fr. Tom has been harmed are completely baseless.
Please continue to pray for Fr. Tom and Sr. Rema.
