If they were prosecuted justly and they the committed murders, I don't see why they shouldn't be put to death other than maybe a humanist argument.

filthy indians... how do they have the right to prosecute on international waters?

We stand with our puntlander brothers. No pirate tried to board the poor Indians who can't even feed themselves, I suspect if pirates boarded an Indian ship they would apologise and donate to the Indians

I wonder how they plan on executing 50 people. Will they be burned alive and their bodies floated into the Ganges?

They steal fish from our seas and dump all sorts of waste, now they wanna kill "pirates"? wouldnt be suprised if atleast 100 of them were simple fisher men.

I am marrying a pirate and I'm taking over Somalia.

Everything about that country just smells of a Bradford cash and carry, i'd be happy to get executed and never have to spend another day in their land

I hope some Somalis lawyers volunteer and defend them, they are poor people and need our help.

They are criminals caught trying to kidnap people. Just because they are your qabiil you can't defend them

Why you are so dumb like that? Do you know these men personally or their tribes ? Why are you so stupid like that?

It's too late. They've already pleaded guilty and 50 of them face the possibility of the death penalty.

Please do not derail my topic. You can discuss the clan backgrounds of the suspected pirates in a topic that isn't this one. Thanks.
