Why Iran gives that good treatment to these british terrorists??
I would hardly call kidnapping, false imprisonment and forced confessions “good treatment”. Where do cross-border kidnapping and show trials figure in the Geneva Conventions? The GPS coordinates are proof that the British sailors were on the Iraqi side of the invisible-to-the-eye border. Their position (inside Iraqi waters) was also confirmed by the Indian vessel which the British sailors inspected. It was additionally – initially – confirmed by the Iranian Navy. The Iranian government – without any evidence whatsoever – decided the position was more than 2 miles east of where it actually was. In other words, the Iranian vessels entered Iraqi waters. The Iranians are now making an international incident over their own Navy’s mistake. I am quite sure the Iranian incursion into Iraqi waters would have been forgiven, had the Iranian vessels retreated without taking prisoners. The Iranians should immediately hand their captives over to the Iraqi authorities and apologize profusely to the B
