Foreign Secretary David Miliband has welcomed news that Iran has freed five British yachtsmen detained in its waters. Follow us on twitter at http://twitter.com/itn_news
I live and work in a country with very strict border controls. If a yacht stays into Spanish waters from the south, the Guardia will arest you at gun point. Thats the ways it goes. Lets get real about this, a delivery crew messed up went strayed into anothers waters, they got arrested until they saw no harm was being done and let go. nothing more, But lets make a big deal over it because it was Iran, the"So called Enemy" grow up media, this happens every day, all delivery crews know the score
When its your family that have been incarcerated by an extremist reactionary regime led by fundamentalist hardliners, then you'd have a different tune. Have you heard of empathy?
I cant help thinking this whole thing has been blown out of all proportion by the press. If a boat strays into a countries water without permission, the crew face investigation from the local authorities. The statement "They will face serious penalties if found to be commiting espionarge" goes without saying in any country, The media cannot resist stiring up a hornets nest over nothing. Iran did what any country would have done and followed all legal avenues. Bastard UK press again
Oh god, I just came. David <3
