Release of 22 captured by Somali pirates still in dark

Koyilandi: Efforts to release 22 ship workers, including three Malayaless, who were captured by the Somali pirates in February, reached nowhere. Bijesh from Nambrathukara, Hari P Nair, Chungam, Kottayam and Fasil Sheikh from Kanhangad are the three Malayaless. Among the 22, 18 are Indians. The ship owned by an Italian company was seized in February

Bijesh spoke to his wife Bijisha on April 13 with the permission of the pirates. The company authorities said they are having discussion with the pirates. But they were reluctant to divulge more, she added. The delay has caused apprehensions among the relatives of the captured.
