Kidnapped Alberta journalist calls CTV News

Amanda Lindhout says she's in desperate need of medical help and is begging for the ransom being demanded for her ransom to be paid. Lindhout called the CTV National newsroom in Toronto and read a statement in which she said that she is in a desperate situation and is being held in a dark, windowless room in chains without any clean drinking water and little or no food. She begged the government to pay the ransom her captives are demanding.

After the kidnapping 10 months ago, a $2.5-million ransom was demanded. CTV News said that ransom has now been dropped to $1-million.

CTV played a recording of the statement to someone who knows Lindhout well and was told that there is no doubt that it was her voice.
