V. Pandiselvi, the mother of Indian sailor Naveen Kumar, has not heard from her son for more than six months yet she still clings to hope he will return.
Kumar was one of six crew members assigned to work on two Iran-linked cargo vessels last seen in Iranian waters in May before disappearing. The vessels' fate is still unclear.

Before Pope Leo reaches Peru later this week, a larger-than-life version is already waiting for him on the Pacific shore. A towering white statue of the pontiff, arms stretched wide, was inaugurated ahead of Leo's final and most personal leg of his South American tour.
The 6-foot monument stands in Callao, a port city adjoining Lima, and is billed by its municipality as the world's tallest sculpture of a pope. It depicts the first US-born pope in flowing white robes in a country that has embraced him as one of its own.
Leo’s arrival in Peru on Wednesday will cap his 12-day, three-country tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, his first to South America as pope and a return to a region where he spent years as a missionary.
