Yesterday morning shortly before eight o'clock, after seven hours of climbing and a very short night of Cosmiques hut (3600 m), Françoise Guais and Christian Deville, journalists from France 3, sound engineer Gilles Coutable and the mountain guide Anne Bauvois, deployed a banner containing the portraits of Stéphane Taponier & Hervé Ghesquière. "We will not forget you" it said. Because today, Saturday, that's 200 days that the two journalists and their three companions are being held hostage in Afghanistan. "We wanted to put the banner up there to make things change" said Christian. The same was done for Florence Aubenas and Betancourt In 2008, July 1st, the portrait of Ingrid Betancourt, held by the FARC in Colombia, was unfolded at the summit of Mont Blanc. The next day she was released after six years of detention. Three years ago, it was Florence Aubenas, held in Iraq. When a similar expedition was preparing to leave the valley of Chamonix to the summit, the journalist of "Liberation" was released. Le Dauphiné
