Chinese and Korean POWs to stay held says KNRC chief
Indian Lt. Gen. K S Thimayya warned the UN that releasing unrepatriated anti Communist prisoners before their fate is decided would violate the armistice as plans move forward to free over 22 000 POWs as civilians by Saturday. Negotiations for a peace conference stalled with liaison officials deadlocked for a third time, while Mrs Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit urged renewed General Assembly action on Korea. Thimayya, NNRC chairman, reiterated that freeing the 22 400 prisoners would breach the armistice and that the prisoners now in Indian custody are to be returned to captors when captured.
