Five Somali pirates have been on board the Danish warship Absalon for more than a month without being brought before a judge, despite agreement from the Netherlands several weeks ago that they could be tried under Dutch jurisdiction.
Under Danish law, the five should have been presented before a judge under habeas corpus rules within 24 hours. The pirates were detained on December 31 after attempting to hijack a Dutch Antilles-flaged vessel in the Gulf of Aden.
