Gather at Prayer Vigil for Safe Return of Hostages in Iraq

Around 100 people gathered in Trafalgar Square in London on the 4th and 5th of March, to hold a silent vigil marking 100 days since Briton Norman Kember was taken hostage in Iraq.

During the hour-long vigil, prayers were said for the safe release of the 74-year-old peace activist and his fellow captives who were kidnapped with during a mission in Baghdad by a group demanding the release of Iraqi prisoners.

A body calling itself the Swords of Righteousness Brigade claimed to be holding the men, who were abducted in Baghdad on November 26 last year.
