London Lite freed
A free London Lite campaigner |
Months of campaigning by supporters, demanding that one should "free London Lite", was said to have helped secure the release of the paper.
Speaking as it made its way out from the cell it had been held in, often in squalid conditions, the journal said that it was pleased to finally be freed and thanked the thousands of supporters in the capital who had supported calls for it to be free.
"It was awful," London Lite told reporters. "Some days on end my captors would toy with me, clicking me about before flinging me to a seat or even the floor of a room that reminded me of a tube or train carriage."
However, the dedication of supporters, who chose to wear special purple suits to highlight their cause demanding that kidnappers should "free London Lite", cheered the journal in what it described was "like being buried alive" under a mountain of commuters, an "appalling experience".
Banners had been placed around London calling for the freedom of the journal and a block in the western part of the capital had a banner declaring its intention.
Now that its release has been secured, London Lite promises "to fade back into obscurity".
