I looked and looked but the search feature doesn't work and I couldn't find the original Somali pirate thread.

 

The source added that after the pirates had been disarmed and their navigation equipment removed, they were "put into an inflatable boat" and pushed off into the sea.

 

LOL, gotta love Russia.

thats awesome

Pretty cool, but blasting 'em away from the back of a naval ship while the leader was "negotiating" was pretty cool.

That's pretty good.

 

Also read earlier that the crew was able to secure themselves in a safe room so they were safe from the pirates when they came aboard. That probably made the rescue easier.

No rights and proper trial? For shame.

This is Russia we are talking about... they wouldn't even let the allies celebrate VE day with them today.

agreed. this is a humanitarian disaster. blatant racism from the Russians.

It really does amaze me that the Magna Carta has again become controversial.

Well hopefully they at least read them their rights before they put them on the boat.

Russia may be able to stop real pirates, but virtual pirates still run rampant in those parts, lol.

They dont have any rights, really. Piracy is in a deadzone between war, crime and terrorism; does the Geneva Convention apply to Piracy?

Human rights are over rated anyways.

Human rights are over rated anyways.

Which internationally recognized human rights are specifically being violated?

 

The only one I can think of off the top of my head would be the 2nd Geneva Convention, and you would have to make a hell of a case to make me really believe this falls under that provision.

No jurisdiction for any court.

Prosecuting piracy is pretty straightforward, the laws are like 150 years old and haven't changed much if at all.

Thats exactly the problem, these laws are 150 years old, and they have no place to try them (bear in the mind the USA and China, among others, haven't signed the Rome Statute).

No jurisdiction for any court.

Seems to me that when you board their ship, you're in their jurisdiction.
