Nasser is 12 years old. He has never met his dad because he was taken away by the Iraqi Army for taking photographs.

"My father was taken when I was not born - his favourite thing was taking pictures - he'd see a pond in Quatar and he take a picture.

'Jailed for his country'

If I see my dad I am going to give him a big hug and a kiss - but there is no chance of that, well maybe a chance now.

People tell me that he liked to take pictures and that he was a strong man. He just liked his country, Kuwait, and he went to jail for his country.

'He'd be proud'

If my father saw me now he would be proud because I am his child and I am going to look for him.

If God wants I will see him and there is no-one that can say I won't see him."

Miriam is 14 years old. She and her whole family were taken prisoner and most of them were released.

But her 15-year-old brother Khled wasn't set free, and they haven't heard from him since.

'They took him away'

"I don't remember my brother. I was told that he was taken away. I think my mum and sister saw him being taken away.

They came asking for my brother - they were going to ask him a few questions they took him and then after a few days they came and took the rest of us away too.

'I don't know him'

Miriam's brother has been missing for 12 years

I don't feel that I have an older brother. He knows me but I don't know him - I don't know his ways or his character.

If my brother comes back it will be the best day of my life and it is a dream of mine that he comes back. It would be a dream come true."
