THE Royal Navy, once the scourge of brigands on the high seas,
has been told by the Foreign Office not to detain pirates because
doing so may breach their human rights.

War****ps patrolling pirate-infested waters, such as those off
Somalia, have been warned that there is also a risk that captured
pirates could claim asylum in Britain.

The Foreign Office has advised that pirates sent back to Somalia
could have their human rights breached because, under Islamic
law, they face beheading for murder or having a hand chopped off
for theft.
