Joven "Bob" Casas was one of 23 Filipino crewmen aboard the bulk carrier ship MV Irene when it was seized by Somali pirates off the Gulf of Aden on April 14, 2009. We urge each of the addressees and anyone else in a position to help to do everything in their power to enable Bob and his crewmates to be reunited with their families as soon as possible. We also call on the international community to work together to prevent such atrocities from occurring in the future.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
