The EU's top human rights court on Thursday ordered France to pay thousands of euros to Somali pirates who attacked French ships for "violating their rights" by holding them an additional 48 hours before taking them before a judge.
The Somali pirates were apprehended on the high seas by the French army on two separate occasions in 2008 and taken back to France for trial.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) said that French authorities should have brought the pirates before a judge "without delay" when they arrived on French territory after being held at sea. The EUs top human rights court said French authorities were wrong to keep the pirates in custody for an additional 48 hours before bringing them before a judge.

Che’d is PERMANENT!
I know this is pretty standard around the world that you cannot be held without charge for more than a certain period without being charged - it varies according to different countries but 24 to 48 hour seems the norm. Only the UN would be stupid enough to call a delay a human rights abuse. The Law is there to stop people being held without charge for indeterminate amounts of time not for giving money to pirates.
BTW Did the UN tell Iran to pay the American hostages held in the 70’s. No you see it’s only whitey who has to pay - anywhere in the world. The devil is all about bringing down the once Christian West and the west is working in well with him to complete the job!
How do you say, “Fornicate you and the horse you rode in on” in French?
Next time, do it the old fashioned way:
The French government needs to completely and totally ignore this.
I actually feel bad for France.
France should quit the EU.
The sensible plan would be to sink them and forget about it.
Or the Russian method, SSS- Shoot, Sink and Shutup
“The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”
Gen. James Mattis
While I like the idea of questioning terrorists and pirates for information, it’s just not worth it. Enemies of civilization should just be shot on the high seas or on the battlefield, with no effort at capture. That will put them permanently beyond the protection of liberals worldwide.
