A PUBLIC relations company has been brought in to bolster the work of the Hostages In Kashmir Campaign fighting for information about hostage Paul Wells.

London-based First Choice Media will attempt to gain national publicity and sponsorship for the charity.

The organisation is seeking money to pay for a trip to Jammu Kashmir by relatives of Paul Wells, Middlesbrough-man Keith Mangan and German Dirk Hasert.

Paul, 26, of Bracken Close, Feniscowles, Blackburn, and the others were kidnapped by Muslim militants in July 1995.

Campaign spokesman James Bowman said the company would initially work on an expenses-only basis.
