The Russian captain of a fishing vessel, Thai Union 3, hijacked by Somali pirates on 29th October this year, has been taken to hospital with bullet-wound, according to news agencies Reuters and Itar-Tass.
I am deeply shocked and saddened by news that a Russian sailors have been kidnapped by a band of criminal pirates in Somalia. My deeply felt hope is that Russia will take a critical role in securing the waters of the Indian Ocean both for safe legitimate seafaring but also will spearhead international effort to get to the roots of this criminal enterprise. Whilst this fishing vessels had been kidnapped outside Somalia’s 200 nautical ML Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), evidence show that massive illegal fishing has been taking place inside Somalia’s legal waters by fishing trawlers from Asia, EU and the Middle East. What is taking place in the Indian Ocean waters of the Horn of Africa is a wider criminal enterprise in which the Somali pirates are in fact minor players. http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_55452.shtml http://www.javno.com/en-world/somali-pirates-threaten-indian-ocean-tuna-industry_226826
