India to Return Korean War POWs Early Next Week
Indian Lt. Gen. K S Thimayya announced that custodial troops will hand over unrepatriated prisoners to Allied and Communist captors next Wednesday morning. Nearly 2,000 North Koreans and Chinese, plus 21 Americans, 1 Briton and 325 South Koreans who refused repatriation, will be returned as prisoners rather than civilians. Thimayya said India acts alone and that the move is final, not requiring MRC approval, warning that changing status would violate the armistice. The notice asks for replies by Saturday and outlines locations at the DMZ boundaries for turnover.
