THE SISTER of hostage Paul Wells has issued a message of support on the eve of the first anniversary of his capture.
Student Paul, another Briton Keith Mangan and two other Westerners have been held by Kashmiri separatists since they were kidnapped at gunpoint near Srinagar.
Today Sarah Wells, sister of 25-year-old Paul, said: "He'll be finding it hard, but he'll cope because he's a strong person.
"I know he'll be thinking about the rest of us and about his girlfriend Cath."
