Kuwaiti students ask Britain to investigate their POW in Iraq

Kuwaiti students have given the British ambassador in Kuwait a message for British Prime Minister Tony Blair asking Blair to exert efforts to force Iraq to release hundreds of captives and detained Kuwaitis.

In the message they complained that the agreement between Baghdad and the United Nations did not include references to those captives.

The students assembled in front of the embassy, which led the police to ask them to leave because they did not have a license to demonstrate.

Ambassador Graham Yolias invited a representative of those students into the embassy and to deliver the message, which includes thanks to Blair for his country's attitude toward the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and its call to remove the Iraqi government and try its members as war criminals.

In the message, they said, "The Kuwaiti people are peace lovers, thus we are happy that the recent crisis passed peacefully."
