Almost a year into her captivity in Somalia, Amanda Lindhout said her health, both physical and mental, is deteriorating. In a phone call to OMNI TV on Monday, the kidnapped freelance journalist from Sylvan Lake, Alta., also said she is shackled and being kept in a dark room.
“I don't want to die here and I'm afraid I'll die in captivity if I don't get help soon,” she said. “I don't know how much longer I can bear this.”
Ms. Lindhout, 28, and Australian photographer, Nigel Brennan, were grabbed near Mogadishu, the Somali capital, on Aug. 23, 2008. Their local translator and driver were later released. A demand for $2.5-million was initially made
