THE Revolutionary United Front has released two UN military personnel in eastern Sierra Leone, the United Nations said on Thursday. Major Suresh Karki, a Nepalese military observer serving with the UN Mission in Sierra Leone, arrived Thursday in Freetown a day after he was freed, Unamsil said in a statement received. The statement said Karki is suffering from malaria. A Indian lance-corporal, Paucho Singh Chouan, was released unconditionally, it said. It did not specify where the two men had been held, nor where they were freed. The statement quoted Karki as saying that neither he nor 18 other UN military personnel held with him and Chouan were ill-treated by the RUF. The representative of United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan for Sierra Leone, Oluyami Adeniji, welcomed the release of Karki and Chouan and called on the RUF to free all other hostages being held.
