I'll bet the former Lords of the Admiralty must be rolling in their graves on
this one!
"THE Royal Navy, once the scourge of brigands on the high seas, has been told
by the Foreign Office not to detain pirates because doing so may breach
their  human rights.
Warships patrolling pirate-infested waters, such as those off Somalia, have
been warned that there is also a risk that captured pirates could claim asylum
in Britain.
The Foreign Office has advised that pirates sent back to Somalia could have
their human rights breached because, under Islamic law, they face beheading
for  murder or having a hand chopped off for theft. "

The Foreign Office is correct. Don't detain them on their way to hell - kill
them. It is up to the Captains of her Majesty's warships to follow the policy.
Killing them removes all of the Foreign Office's concerns. Allow them to get
off the vessel they have captured and once they are in their boats, blow them
away. If they do not wish to remove themselves from the captured vessel. I'm
sure that the SBS/Royal Marines are capable of facilitating their departure -
one way or another.
