ChrisJones 7,975 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Six Brits (and 29 others) have been found not guilty on weapons charges in India. They were working as anti-piracy security guards on merchant ships in the Indian Ocean. In October 2013 they were detained by the Indian government on illegal weapons charges. All 35 have been acquitted. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can still appeal which means they may not be coming home soon but they've spent 4 years in prison already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 25,827 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Really hope these guys get home for Christmas. Our government has really dragged its heals over this one, Four bloody years for doing their job while the firm that employed them and our government deserted them. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
