Well they needed to do something. Letting them go (which is what happens most of the time at the moment) is utterly pointless.

Yes use the old system of lynching them and throwing the bodies into the sea. If no pirates ever survive, it would seriously curtail the numbers taking it up as a way of making money. :twisted:

A group of Somalis suspected of piracy have been flown to South Korea to face possible criminal charges.

Five men were seized when South Korean special forces stormed the Samho Jewelry, a cargo ship which had been hijacked in the Arabian Sea.

South Korean officials say eight of the 13 pirates on board at the time were killed during the rescue mission.

The five young men, who reportedly deny involvement in the kidnapping, were flown to Seoul and then taken to Busan.

They deny involvement? Weren't they caught red handed on the ship?

The ship was hijacked earlier. It's not necessarily the same crew that did it, and there's no guarantee that some of the crew aren't press-ganged.

This is why there has to be a fair trial, rather than just making them all walk the plank.

Don't they also have to have a skull and cross bones flag? Otherwise they could just be a drunken Somali stag party gone wrong?
