Indian Coast Guard reach stranded SL fishermen in International Waters
The Indian Coast Guard reached a group of Sri Lankan fishermen who have been stranded in international waters for seven days, earlier this evening.
Fishermen at the Nilwella Fisheries Harbour, from where the fishermen had set out, informed News1st that the Indian Coast Guard had agreed to bring back the fishermen, but that they would not be able to bring back their vessel.
They added that their comrades had informed the Indian Coast Guard that they would remain at sea and return with their vessel, with another boat from the Nilwella fisheries harbour, which is en route to their location.
We are proud of the decision they have taken to stand up for their rights.
