Felly, mae'n ni'r ffordd i'r lle sifial o'r gwahanol. Was gynnig o'r ffriddwm gyda'n mynd i'r paratrypus i fod y gallu ystyried i'r gwahanol? Oh, yes. Definitely, definitely. I felt I couldn't just go into a normal civilian role job like say working in office because that's not me. I felt like I always wanted to protect something and being in the army, you know, you learn to do stuff like that and being in maritime, your sole job is protecting the ship cargo and the crew and I enjoy doing it. Is that for me like the pirates and stuff like that and trying to hijack the ship? Yes, definitely. If you came across pirates, whether it be the Indian Ocean or Arabian Sea or in the Red Sea, you've just got to, you know, do your job to the best you can. Yeah, when you were in the Paras, Nick, you get blew up, did you not? Yes, in Afghanistan, me and two of us, we were in a women's land drove on. We drove over a pressure plate mine which went up the engine block. It was quite a nerve wracking experience. Yes, we were all fine, but it just, you know, when you hear, when you've seen people being injured and they've lost an arm and a leg or if not a lot more, that split second, you can't do nothing. And I'm very grateful that it was just a pressure plate mine because no further, no farther to the right of our vehicle, those anti-tank mine, which was identified and that would have wiped us out. Yeah, and that would have been scary. Do you think that was one of the reasons why you wanted to make your transition as well? Listen, it's not exactly any safer garden ships, but do you think you wanted out a bit more because obviously? No, not really. I just, it was just a lot of people when I joined the battalion and everyone that I kind of knew got friends with, they were jumping ship onto ships, so to speak, going to maritime, going to Iraq doing CP close protection. So I thought I'll do both courses and see which I get to do first and maritime was obviously my star and roll, so to speak. So what does maritime, what does that explain that about, Nick? Basically you'll go from say the UK, you'll possibly fly to say Sri Lanka, you'll board a ship and you'll guard that ship, say that ship goes up to Muscat in the Oman, you will literally guard that vessel. Sometimes you can be unarmed, but majority of the time because of the threat is real, they will have weapons, so you will be an armed guard just basically making sure that vessel goes from A to B in the safest manner. Well, you made world headline news, obviously the Chanai 6 where 6 years at 30s the ship got, the police came on to the ship, they found guns and ammunition, you get took to prison. How was that experience when they first came on the boat? It was quite a strange experience because it happened in the early hours of the 12th of October 2013 and the tactical deployment officer informed us that we were being escorted to the port of Tutokorain. The vessel that we were on was a company who I worked for was like floating armory ship, so basically you had kit and equipment and when you came off a normal client vessel you sometimes went on to these vessels, so it wasn't an actual client vessel that they boarded and brought a port that was the company's own vessel because I believe they were tipped off that we were potentially doing something illegal, which we weren't and we were brought to the port of Tutokorain at a very slow speed, mind we were only so many nautical miles away and it shouldn't have taken that long, however getting close to the port of Tutokorain we had a massive welcome committee of every naval organisation, police organisation from up and down the country of India to welcome us to say what we've been up to apparently. So it was guns and ammunition, was it 30 guns and 35 weapons? Funny enough there was 35 personnel on that vessel, only 25 could legally use them weapons because they were the amount of guards. So do you have a licence for those weapons? There is like export licences for the weapons, they're not licences such as just basically from the you know the company in say the UK, MOL or XR they would say right these weapons are for the sole purpose of maritime. So they're not necessarily a licence because that means every weapon would have a single licence and then we would, you've got a weapons competency certificate so it makes you enable to use these weapons for maritime. So did you just know the weapons and the ammunition was on the ship? Yeah definitely, we were not operating, we were waiting to take fuel and ammunition so all the weapons, the kit, ammunition were stored locked away and there's only two people that could have access to that room, one was the captain obviously and the tactical deployment officer which he would have a key as well. So when the police came on the boat and then eventually that's what he's getting charged with, you must have thought at that time then everything's fine? Oh yeah definitely, we obviously have to show the kit and equipment and the weapons and ammunition to the police, to the course guard, to anyone even when you're on a client vessel if you have to go to a port or call you've got them locked, you've got them sealed, stamped signatures, whatever, you show the police this is our weapons for armed security and they go yes no problem. So you've showed those weapons and ammunition before but yet when the boat get raided they've changed at that time? They just said we found weapons and that was it? Yeah that was the beginning of a four year nightmare. So this is when the nightmare obviously began when you were fighting for your freedom because the maximum sentence you could have got up to 10 years? I believe between seven and 10 years but we got five years initially. And how was the foreign office and stuff? Were they backing you? Were they helping you? The foreign office, my personal take on it, they did as much as they physically could. I think during the early stages of the four years they were quite apprehensive, they wanted to physically know had we done anything wrong, we hadn't done anything wrong. Six of the weapons that they said were illegal, mine were in Mumbai one month previously so if they were going to be illegal they would have been stopped then. Them said weapons were, they had the export document licences from BIS which is a UK government organisation yet the Indian authority said them weapons don't count for jack outside the UK. So you had the licences from the UK to say that your carry those weapons and everything was legal above board? Practically yes. So what prison did you go to the very first night? When we got arrested off the vessel on the 18th of October mine so we got arrested on the 12th of October, it took six days for them to remove us. Mine, they didn't say you were under arrest suspicious of them, they said we're taking you to hospital for checkup, we never went to the hospital, we went to a police station, we spent all day on the 18th, no food, no very little water, sweating, there was no legal representation for us, there was no one from the British Embassy to say we were literally on our own being shouted and screamed at in Tamil, sign this or we'll ruin your life, sign what, it's a blank piece of paper, I'm not signing nothing. Was that try to get a confession or try to sign? I don't know what they were trying but they honestly believed they were onto something and it took four years for them to realise you're just digging a hole for yourself. Did you ever think you were getting out at one point? Do you ever think I'm fucked, I'm here for good? Because it's a kind of setup? No, I never once allowed my mental state to say that's it, I'm going to spend my long long long long time, I knew I would come home to my family, I knew justice will prevail eventually, it's just a matter of how long. Leading up to the trial and we actually getting convicted for the five years, I spent quite a long time a year and a half with out of prison, which you think how can this be, I've got no charges yet you won't allow me to go home. Did they take your passport and stuff off you? They took our passport off us, they basically ineffectively said we were under country house arrest but we weren't, we literally had no charges that saw, you can imagine spending that length of time from say April 2014 to September 2015, that's a long time having to try and survive in a country where it's not your home, you're going to miss your family every single day, that little bit more as the months and year goes by and you've got to look at the financial strain, yes we had amazing support from the British Legion and the mission to save fares, they helped us out financially and I'd like to say thank you to them but my family still has to pay as well and when you're not earning it mounts up and mounts up. Because you spoke earlier, it's your freedom, it's your time and one of the last times you spoke to your mum as well was when you actually got the first day in prison over there. Yeah well the last time I was able to speak to me man properly before she had a double aneurysm was the morning of us getting arrested and removed off the vessel and it's quite a heartbreak and time for me because you know I'll admit I'm a mommy's boy and you know to tell you, no child once death I tell my parents that I'm getting arrested in a foreign country, I don't know when I'll next be able to speak to you so you can imagine how my family felt once me telling them that. Do you have a lot, you must have a lot of anger then towards the ending government and the way you've been treated? Anger, anger yes but no not really I think yeah I am angry at why the continued to pursue it when the new they had nothing against us I'm angry that they've done that they could have let it go in April sorry July 2014 if they didn't put an appeal in after the 90 days it would have been over no one would have battled any eyelids out of gone wife bloody hell and I probably would have ended up carrying on doing maritime but for them to put an appeal in to the supreme court on day 88 that was just it made it more personal I think. Yeah fuck especially if you think you're getting away with it then you never did anything to get away with but if you're creating up to 87 88 you're thinking okay it's done I can time to go home time to go back to work see my family and then when they put in the appeal how long after the appeal did you go to court and you got your five year sentence? September that's when September the following year that's when the trial began and going through the trial what would you think to yourself they've not got anything here or I'm fucked? Well turning up the trial was up it wasn't mandatory it was optional on certain days unless the judge required so I'd been a few times and I wasn't prepared to keep spending time nine like nine and a half hours to travel down to court so I just used to say look I'm not coming tell me when I physically gotta be there and I'll be there and when I went on a few occasions I felt absolutely sick to my stomach when our lawyer would translate what say you know when someone goes in the witness town and our lawyer's a cross cross reference and stuff it was disgusting absolutely disgusting hearing the lies from the Indian police. And how many people got charged then? 35 and 35 all get five years each? Yes. 35 people? Do you think there's a lot of corruption then in India? Do you think that's because the people who get the jail were had their man on my show called James Toner as well when he was set up by the police with drugs and he spent four years in prison actually two years in prison and I think he was on bail for two years but you're waiting here anyway. I think that is the same case that our embassy spoke to us about that they mentioned that person and we have obviously fell foul to the corruption of India because they make money from every prisoner they get? Oh yes definitely and it was in the papers on telly in India basically they were saying you know we will arrest anyone if we believe they are committing a crime it's about putting the numbers behind bars not actually doing police work and saying well you are guilty you're going to prison it was you're going to prison it's all about a numbers game. So when you got the five years how was the prison you were in then? The prison central prison one in Puzzal Chennai was a very basic basic prison like a big we were in a big room with you know a few brick shelves and a hole in the floors a waterway would use a bucket to flush away and then use that area potentially for washing and it was just when you look at the bars on the windows and then that time where it comes to locking up at say six o'clock at night and that noise the door makes it sends shivers down your spine because that's when the reality hits in that you're in a prison in a foreign country and when am I coming home? How many people were on your sail? Initially there was 23 in one cell and it became very cramped people as you know have got different hygiene issues and some people are going to start arguing especially when you've got three different nationalities you've got Estonians, Ukrainians and British all in one cell and it did come to a point where the prison gave us two more cells so we could split ourselves down. So all the foreigners were in one cell? Initially and then even they got sick of each other so that's where the third cell came to for a few of their guys so majority of the British were downstairs from the main cell that were initially putting. Because I know your sister Lisa fought a lot for your freedom, she was everywhere doing news reports and fighting a lot, trying to raise money as well we're trying to basically keep you alive over there. Do you think it was and for her you could still potentially be over there? She did what any family member would do for their loved ones you know, mind a lot of the other families didn't do a lot of media and that fully respect their wishes on that but my sister made a pledge that she would do everything that she physically could to make the government aware injustice was being served and she wanted to basically raise so much awareness that everyone would start pouting fingers at India and saying release these innocent men. So yeah I'm very grateful for my sister's done but it was at the end of day a dying man who ended up making way for our freedom. What happened there? Well the Ukrainian captain of the vessel he got born cancer and he was a bit of a you know a player maker I saw he was always going I'm dying, I'm dying so the Indians never took him seriously and he kind of was really bad, he was sick and he had born cancer and basically his case was going through the courts while we were still waiting on a decision at High Court he obviously got his case heard at Supreme Court off the grandest judge of the whole of India and that's what got us off our freedom. When you got your freedom how was that feeling? I remember to this day and I'll remember for the rest of my life it was the 27th of November 2017 on a Monday the night before I know it sounds corny cheesy whatever but the song the final countdown came on that radio and I said to the lads in the cell I said that's it it's over tomorrow and they were always quite apprehensive I will see I said no no it's over we are getting the decision tomorrow I don't care it's happening and we will be home for Christmas that's how positive I was and a lot of them didn't like that because they're just wanting quite apprehensive fairly out of them maybe I was masking my apprehensiveness but I felt positive I felt confident something good was going to happen and you can imagine no one got sleep that night so all day you're waiting oh we're going to hear news we're going to hear news and we will obviously the last case I think 40 odd cases surprise surprise the last to get heard and I was outside in my little makeshift gym and I remember Paul Towers coming to the bars and he shouted dunny dunny I went what and you could hear it in his voice it was a mixture of tears and happiness rolled into one and he says that's it cases are quitted it's over and I was just buzzing I said I told you I told you you know and I went back to me work out and I went I can't date me my head was just flowing so much emotion and great feeling and that was just before Christmas that was just before Christmas the next day was the day we got brought out of prison which has never happened in their court before normally you've got to wait for the court order basically the judge is going get them out now so the next day obviously you're just still on the hang you know you so you never slept again so there's two nights with no sleep and I had to get out that cell and I started training just to try and tire myself out and I was walking around the compound Paul's obviously been summoned to the superintendent and he's came back and as I've come round he's come in through the compound gate I said what's going on he says pack your bags the embassy's coming at 11 and my knees buckled and my knees buckled and it was an amazing feeling absolute an amazing feeling to be told not just it's over but you're getting out of that shit hole you're leaving prison and obviously everyone was packing that stuff I was like well I'll just wait because I know things don't go smoothly in India there's say five minutes and now I'm late I still not so I was just playing playing it cool me I was just I would get me stuffed down everyone was down at the main office where the superintendent and they came in the embassy's here what the deputy high commissioner the the high commissioner and the two embassy girls that came and it was real real nice feeling saying them with their vehicles for you to leave and we went from the prison to the embassy in Chennai and obviously I rung me sister and I said it's me and she went who's this I went it's me I'm out and obviously she was buzzing and she went I'm on me wait a new castle airport I'm coming to get you it was just mad mad feeling how were you treated when you got home oh well obviously it is online to see the day of my arrival in a new castle airport in the 7th of December 2017 it blew my mind not even the family was expecting all of that to be there but to come home you could say it was like to a hero's welcome of some sort and I was thinking I wasn't a hero I was just a guy from Washington doing a job I enjoyed doing and this could have easily happened to someone else but to have fantastic support from the northeast parts of England and different countries of world it was really really fantastic to know people cared for our mistreated you know time in India and from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you to those people you can tell your emotions and they were running high does that bring back then a lot of emotions speaking about it I'm okay if I talk yes there's always going to be emotions it was an emotional four years of a roller coaster ride for me and my family but I believe for my own mental health I have to talk about it because anyone who knows me if I keep reading I'll probably blow a gasket and that's when you're not in control of your mental still mental health and I don't want to be one of those people who end up losing control I would try and control my emotions and channel it and you know speak I refer back to the past to see how far I've come in the future that's the only time I look back and talking about what happened is good for me yes I do get a bit emotional at times on certain subjects but which isn't a bad thing by the way it's not a bad thing but it helps me deal with the mental aspects of day to day 11 now how's the how've you cope now back in normal society background well you can imagine my first week I remember it's people don't understand the day to day house appliances and I remember putting a load of washing might not have been spending four years of putting my washing in a bucket and hand washing so when I've looked it and I've put a load in the washing machine and I've looked at the washing machine and I've gone how the hell do you work this so I was on the phone how do you work your washing machine you go turn it to the right ones press start I went all right jazz putting that kettle on not having to put it over a stove hot water having a bath I hadn't had a bath in four years had cold showers and bucket showers in the prison you know it was a man sounds like torture it was mad you know sitting on a toilet I know people will never experience having to squat over a hole and then having to flush you know that's what medieval times are that is that is medieval asset and I've always said it right if our prisons in the UK were back well like this prison in India I tell you what they'll be nearly empty and that's a guaranteed fact they'll not be Mr hard guy you know our prisons you know luxury playstations tvs free meals a day cooked for you well we had to cook our own food we had to cook our own food so do you think it through that process as well even though it was this barbaric the boy obviously went through especially when you were so after sorry I'm jumping here but did the case get acquitted did they get quashed did they get threw out or did you get the whole timeline is April 2014 we've got bail signing twice a day at the police station july 2014 the case got quashed so our charges were dropped her captain and all that for the fuel and all that was still ongoing 90 days to appeal the British government should have gotten us home especially when we've showed Indian law that we don't need to be in the country during that 90 day period they appealed there you go so come once we've been sentenced to five years and then we won our appeal mind we had an appeal the judgment it was acquitted of all charges it wasn't we were all thinking potentially time served time served means you've beat your guilty but they're just cutting your time short because I don't believe I believed we all believe that the Indians they wanted some sort of victory because it was a lot of pressure in the later stages of the whole from media from media the UK government did up their you know stance on things and we were going to get a killing time so to get an acquittal that means we've been wrongly imprisoned wrongly convicted and many people have been asking have I been getting compensation no I don't I'm getting compensation or anything so you haven't had compensation from India the vessel you're working on the UK government nothing absolute nothing yes you can't put a price on stuff like that but I tell you what if it was anywhere else in the world that someone would have handed that person compensation you've got to take into consideration the mental aspect of losing four years initially of your life you know the mental haven't earned in four years having to be in prison while getting told your mom's fighting for her life you know how how do you compensate stuff like that but I've got me freedom and you can't put a price on freedom yeah and that's the most important thing I'd still be serving my five-year sentence this day if we didn't win our appeal it was just scary to think fucking real scary that's how I if someone said to me five year ago right something bad's going to happen in your life do you want to do seven and a half years because that's what it would that's what it would have been in total or four years what would you want to take seven and a half or four years I'll take the four years all day along mind it shouldn't have happened but at the beginning you don't know what's going on because everything's open yeah but it was set it was a setup we were set up by our agent simple as that because he's got money then yes to set you's up and give you time to especially the amount of money that the company paid them to organise the fuel and provisions and when you're in a court alone you've got the paperwork on how much has actually been spent I have to think he's bought himself and but why what's the agenda on doing that I have no idea no idea yeah it's definitely still a lot of questions that need answered as well and especially have you ever had an apology from anyone no I've never even had the company owner Samir Falialla ring me or email me personally to say look I'm sorry on that time of your life that's to be taken away from you we got out of prison and he put something online saying basically bigging himself up yeah we've got the guys for you this and you've and I'm thinking take credit for it yeah basically taking credit for it he's not bothered he doesn't care he just left us to rot basically yes um this is one of the reasons why you're on this show today because you have you listen you're a war hero what you've done in some places is you're a hero to some people and and then giving away to getting four years of your life took it we will seven and a half years one of the reasons why you're on here today is you want to release a book also so for anybody watching or listening um get involved with nick contact nick how can people contact you nick um I'm on twitter um I'm on instagram and also I'm on facebook so nick done easy I'm sure people can find us I'm not hard I don't have the privacy sentence so I'm I am easily found and yeah because what you've says here is you've not even scratched the surface I haven't scratched the surface people people have said um yeah it's been in the media but it's just a tip of the iceberg for me to discuss four years is a long because a lot happened in four years a lot happened a person yes everything you know I was attacked by the police whilst I was out of prison I witnessed prisoners getting beat with sticks off the guards in prison I witnessed a total different kind of life in India and it is a total different kind of life compared to we here in the UK so when people whinge and moan about how life can be tough in this country they need to have a look at what life in India is a reality check and a big reality check because we're doing a living luxury here but it's because we're so used to used to it we want more I appreciate the finer things in life I appreciate what it means to have freedom I know what that means a lot more than a lot of people yeah and it's the most valuable currency and I know you've not had compensation and I know money will not bring back your time but I think you fucking earned it I think you deserve some sort of apology or some somebody from something to say look we're sorry we're sorry that you've caused you destruction of your life inside the prison and out in the worry because when you you're doing that sentence you're not just doing the sentence yourself you're finally doing it with you oh the the the Daphne the Daphne said there were living the nightmare with me but I was in the prison doing the worst of it um don't just yeah there's another thing I sat across the desk of the woman destroying our life I showed her pictures of my mom in hospital I showed her letters from our lawyer stating we should be allowed legally by an Indian law to go home and she didn't even look at them she says let's see what happened in court and I replied to her in a civil manner because what's but I'm in a police headquarters police headquarters there's no point kicking off there get more out of it don't you I said I said but you can tell the prosecutor you're dropping it you can end it now but you didn't she's turned around and said let the court decide and then it just spiraled spiraled and carried on so going forward for yourself for the future what's your what's your plans oh well I'm just doing UK security I'm enjoying you know being back in work and earning money having a life um obviously I would like to get a book done um hopefully things can materialise with that I just want to I've had so many people say it to me you've got an interesting story I would love to read about that in my own time so it's be a year ever gonna do are you gonna do a book and I thought well why not why not do a book you know people say yeah I've got a fantastic story but that's not that's let's tell that story and I'm willing to do that um I just want to be back to me myself you know I enjoy just you know living my life you still keep yourself in good shape man well I spent a lot of time in India you know you've got a year and a half I was eating biryani chicken just chicken and rice nearly every day four times a day it'd only cost a quid really but eating that I was going to the gym going in prison mean the Estonians and all that we made our own little homemade prison so you've got to set goals you've got to try and keep yourself mentally stable and I've always like and I've always fought fitness as a way of keeping yourself do you think that balanced your yeah the demons out in the pain and the misery that the ending justice system will do to you oh yes definitely because you made your own gym and we made our own gym we used to run around I did my own great north run the Chennai half marathon in prison on the same day the morning of you know when my sister ran it um it was just one of those ways of battling and dealing with things you know what I mean they're taking the pain away are you still in contact with any of the boys you've got the pleasant mouth I can yeah I still speak to one or two of them you know everyone's got back to their own life and I don't blame them on that we only came together through all being arrested together really yeah people got on with others people hated each other's guts hey and I mean this you could have put two lifelong best friends in that prison together they wouldn't be friends after the afterwards I tell you that it made or break people that prison it did and I can turn around and say yes I met some great people but it destroyed a lot of people mentally I think that prison because of the fact you're innocent that's the main thing because you know you are innocent you've done nothing wrong and your life's been taken away from you your freedom that's what I think was very mentally challenging on everyone yeah because you don't know with the justice system over there it's not like the UK one you're kind of and they know you know what's happening over there you get took to a court and buses and public transport and awesome you don't know what's going on yeah and that's the scary part not being in control your own freedom especially if you are innocent and then eventually getting acquitted but again that you've got some story and I hope people jump on it and try and help you out to get your book released and I hope you get an apology from someone you at least deserve a fucking apology because to spend seven and a half years of your life after spending six years of your life fighting for your country and and no having any apology from anybody do you think the UK government should be doing a bit more for you um I'm not too sure on on their policies on doing that it's only taking them so many years just to try and accept that there's a you know people with mental health support in veterans or they've just acknowledged that and I think they need to do a lot more stance on people leaving the military um and stop trying to send people to prison for something that happened 30 odd 50 odd year ago and stuff like that but my circumstances I think they could have gone right we will try and use our lawyers in India and try and fight for your compensation you know if the government turned round said that me I would have gone great crack on but they haven't and do I blame them on that no I don't because that's the government for you to be honest yeah but again Nick for coming on today and telling your story and it's a crank story mate even though I know obviously you went through but for people listening they will enjoy it because they love the dark stuff and but again you've come out you're back in your feet you're doing well again you're trying to move forward and progress instead of delivering the past but I hope for people watching again to get involved you contact Nick um he's what I get his book out he's wanting his story heard so again do you want to say anything before we wrap up um just to thank yous you know I did mention to the mission the safe hours thank you for your support the British Legion thank yous for your support the embassy in Chennai thanks for your support Jordan Wiley thanks for your support for the you came over to Chennai and did a 10k run to raise money and awareness for us so thanks for that um thanks to uh an amazing family my sister showing tremendous support and most importantly the people who overlooked things and gone he's not mercenary he's not guilty he's just a person earning a living just like myself wrongfully arrested you know I'm going to support him and a lot of people supported us Lisa used to send me statuses from say Facebook people's lovely comments and I used to read that in my prison cell and read people's nice kind comments and that gave me energy mental willpower to fight them the next day and them days beyond if it wasn't for people's support I think I would have struggled a lot lot more mm-hmm so yeah thanks for everybody's support because even those weekend messages they can't spur you on to fight even more because people have got behind you but Nick everything for the future brother I wish you all the best thanks for coming on and telling your story mate I really appreciate it thank you
