KOTA KINABALU: Rosmiati Abdul Rahim wept and shook when she saw a picture of her father being held captive in the jungles of Jolo by Abu Sayyaf gunmen.

“I can only pray for his and the others’ freedom,” said the 39-year-old. “We are helpless. We don’t have the money nor the means to help get them home safely,” she said.
