Seaman Guard Ohio crew sentenced

摘要

The maritime world has reacted with shock to the five-year prison sentences handed down to 3 5 crew members of AdvanFort's anti-piracy vessel Seaman Guard Ohio. Ken Peters, director of justice and public affairs at the Mission to Seafarers, spoke for many in saying, "I am horrified and filled with anguish at this decision, which is deeply unfair and unjust. These men are seafarers, but it seems the court did not accept the basic fact that the ship was and is an anti-piracy vessel."
