Back during the hostage crisis, there was a journalist held for about 4-5 years. Not sure if he was taken during the Embassy coup, but I think it was around that time. There was a huge media splash when he was released.
Who was he? I may be way off on the timeline, but I trust someone will know whom I’m talking about. The name is dancing on the tip of my tongue and it’s bugging the shit out of me.
