Seychelles Will Have To Prove They Are Pirates!


Indian high commissioner Asit Kumar Nag called on President Michel yesterday to talk about further cooperation in anti-piracy efforts. He commended the various forces involved in the arrest of the pirates.

During an interview with the high commissioner, three senior Indian naval officers said the Seychelles Coast Guard has items they believe show the suspects could be pirates.

“The skiffs had no fishing gear on them, they were so far from Somalia, had a lot of fuel with them and even grapnels used to board ships.

Furthermore, the grapnels had cloth material wrapped around them so they don’t make a noise when they are thrown on to a ship that the pirates may want to attack,” they said.

RT - For consideration. What now will happen with these suspected pirates? And to whom will these 'suspected' pirates be returned to? Perhaps we can ask the Americans to house them at Guantanamo? Or perhaps send them to Kenya?
