WELLINGTON, New Zealand
- The mother of a Canadian hostage held in Iraq pleaded
Sunday for her son to be freed unharmed, days ahead of
the date his captors say they will kill him and three other
foreign peace activists.
Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, and three other members
of the Chicago-based group Christian Peacemaker
Teams were snatched on Nov. 26 near Baghdad by
kidnappers who identified themselves as the
'Swords of Righteousness Brigade.'
The group has accused the peace workers of spying for
foreign forces in Iraq, and has threatened to kill the
hostages — two Canadians, an American and a
Briton — unless all prisoners in U.S. and Iraqi detention
centres are freed by Dec. 8, Arabic-language satellite
TV station Al-Jazeera reported Saturday.
"I want to appeal to those who are holding my son to
release him and his companions unharmed,"
Sooden's mother, Manjeet Kaur Sooden, said Sunday
on TV3, a news network in New Zealand, where her
son has been studying for the past three years.

Manjeet Kaur Sooden, they are not mistaken.
They know your son and the men held are
not spys.
This is a game to them.
They are murderers.
I am sorry for your pain, and the pain of the
other families.
I am praying for them and asking for strength and
guidance for them.
