EU Naval Force Welcomes Decision by Seychelles to Prosecute Suspect Somali Pirates

[HNLMS Van Amstel + Dhow]On Wednesday 16 May the Republic of the Seychelles agreed to accept for prosecution 11 suspect pirates who were captured by EU Naval Force (EU NAVFOR) frigate HNLMS Van Amstel on Friday 11 May.

The 11 suspect pirates had pirated an Iranian dhow with 17 innocent Iranian fishermen onboard at the beginning of May and it is thought the dhow was probably related to the unsuccessful attack against MV Super Lady on Wednesday 9 may.

A team from HNLMS Van Amstel today handed over the suspect pirates to the Seychelles authorities.
