I am not voting for a government that leaves 6 ex servicemen to rot in India for over 500 days
Six ex servicemen have been illegaly detained in India for over 500 days after being cleared of all charges by the high court in India. The FCO continues to do nothing concrete to help these poor ex servicemen who were all working on anti piracy duties in the Indian ocean. Full details are available https://www.humanrightsatsea.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/20150310-HRAS-MV-Seaman-Guard-Ohio-Report-FINAL.pdf
There are Estonian sevicemen also in this situation but their government has at least helped their people with loans etc and even awarded them one of the highest awards available for their help in making sailing safer.
i can not vote for a government that leaves its own people to rot whilst quoting due process without even reading the facts.
i will happily vote for a government that arranges to get these six ex servicemen home whatever it takes
