how to deal with pirates

Russian Navy Captures Somali Pirates (Video)

This video shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship
shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. The Euro
Union navy that patrols these waters would not interfere because they
feared there could be casualties.

All explanations are in Russian with a single exception of when a
wounded pirate says something in English and the Russian soldier says,
"This is not a fishing boat." All conversations between the commandos
are in Russian. If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for
themselves.

The soldiers freed their compatriots and the tanker. The Russian Navy
Commandos moved the pirates back to their own (pirate) ship, searched
the pirate ship for weapons and explosives and then they left the ship
and exploded it with all remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it.

The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without
any court proceedings, lawyers etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy
laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where the captain of the rescuing
ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they
were hung.

I would think from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somali
pirates.

At a guess I'd say that may slow down piracy a bit.. maybe it's a pity other countries don't do the same...

human rights wont let us do that

Ok Don`t think I would agree with this

The pirates should be taken to court and let the law deal with them

i agree their boats should be sunk,but took to the country where the ships are from and tried there as piracy is still a hanging offence here as far as im aware

eye for an eye and all that.

every one is allowed their own opinions
