The Seychelles has informed Denmark that it is not prepared to prosecute 25 pirates being held on the Danish warship Absalon after they were caught red-handed on a hijacked fishing vessel with Iranian and Pakistani hostages.
“I have spoken with them this evening, but haven’t yet seen the official papers. But they mention legal issues and base their refusal on the fact that 14 per cent of all prisoners in the Seychelles are Somali pirates,” Thomas Winckler of the Danish Foreign Ministry Legal Service tells Jyllands-Posten.
