    Antony says Italian marines accused of killing fishermen will be tried under Indian law

    Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 26 (ANI): Defence Minister A K Antony on Sunday said the Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen will be prosecuted under the Indian law.

    "The firing towards the two fishermen by the Italian Marines was regrettable and has to be condemned. Now, the enquiry is on in the right direction. The government of Kerala is handling the case very effectively," Antony told the media on the sidelines of an event here.

    "Union Government will support all efforts of Kerala Government in this regard. The case will go on as per Indian law. Indian courts are independent," he added.

    According to reports, a Special Investigation Team of the Kerala Police has completed the search and seizure of weapons on board the Italian vessel Enrica Lexie. he two Italian marines-Latore Massimiliano and Salvatore Girone-are in judicial custody and a Kollam court has permitted police to seize the arms allegedly used to fire on the fishermen.

    The Italian naval guards were arrested for the killing of two Indian fishermen off Kollam coast on February 15.

    The two naval guards have been charged with murder of the fishermen. The Italian government maintains that the guards opened fire on the assumption that the fishermen were pirates. (ANI)

      I bet, all this worst-ever drama by the most useless, brazenly shameless Congress party led UPA ( United Plunerers' Alliance ) govt. goons ( only their ma'm's voice ) will last beyond this 4th March, when the present election fever is over.

      Just as any NATO country, Afghanistan is violating their powers, by whatever element or belief to a country aiding them.
      Our Government should immediate stoppage or pulls all our government officials; include our embassy out of their country.
      They have choice to be Democratic or Islam or whatever Government Constitution or Doctrine, etc.
      All of their Officials and government should be held to the same Global Court Rules and Punishment as any global nation.
      Once they choose to participate in the Global Economy,
      Whatever the Countries Doctrine is or so call constitution.
      They are in Global Law Zone and responsible for not only their actions but violations of Global Laws.
      When is Our Elect going to get it Right?
      The Law is the Law and must be addressed and followed though Due Process of All Violations. No exceptions, where these criminals’ spread fear, destruction and blatant disregard to Our Global countries, or whatever religious choices of their nation(s).
      Just as our nation's Constitution states Freedom of Choice of Religion, if their Constitution chooses that or other descriptions of religion, and or government, as well as their laws.
      They are an element of that Legal Global Process Community.
      Trading and Selling their Wares, Profit or Loss, in country or globally.
      NATO, INTERPOL, AND OTHER LEGAL CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE, as WORLD COURT.
      We as World Wide Citizens of whatever Elect of any individual nation are under that Global Justice System by our/their free will, or by business contracts with their nations, in the "Balance of Trade Rules".
      All Nations, Democratic, Dictatorships, Kings and or Queen Rule-ALL NATIONS DIRECT OR INDIRECT HAS CONSENTED TO ABIDE AND FOLLOW THE SAME LEGALIST PROCESS.
      Just as our nation has a Supreme Court, Globally We All are subject to The World Court.
      So should NATO rules so indicate a Supreme Court of Global Level? Having the power to control, correct, and eliminate all criminals’ elements in all NATO Nations Membership.
      All others should not have any power or say in World Matters unless they are represented, and Abide by International Laws.
      Face automatic Non Status, not be allowed to be NATO or World Court Members as directed. And not be able to participate or receive any funds from their nations on the Global Market.
      It should be clear that anyone who has a brain, can see that each nation whether in NATO or not is nothing more than a global private vendor, selling their production and directives of Business in the Global Market.
      As such are under the control and action of the Global Laws, from their civil rights choices, in country laws and statutes, and all other legal descriptions’ of their nation, just as they are by choice of location a member of the Global Community and have to abide by Due Process and Legal Boundaries’.
      Whether they choose to or not is not the question, since they are, they have agreed to Global Law and have those Laws to be changeable only by Due Process. Register as Non-Party Participant, in all elections, crash this Party Platform Dictatorship Puppet never ending Re-election waste in 2012.

      Again just cuz his ppl were killed, antony is bending his back to execute the culprits.
      Do u ever knw hw many tamil fishermen were killed by the Lankan navy till now ? Why does the govt still maintains a deaf ear toward this issue ?
      Aren`t tamilians considered as Indian ?
      • poosha 2 months ago
        Ask the media.If this has happened where were they?In Tamil Nadu also there is a media which I am sure is not run by people from other states but by Tamilians.Why didn't they report this?That means that they themselves don't care.Whose fault is it?According to you what should he have done?
        He should have said- "Dear Italians, Aryan says that many Tamilians got killed by the Lankan Navy,so it is not right to hold you answerable for killing our own men in our own waters.Go in peace".
        Is this what he should have said?.Anthony didn't bend his back.He straightened his back and has given a strong message to the West.
      • Aryan 2 months ago
        Yup u keralites will bend ur back when ur men are attacked in India or Gulf, but will turn a deaf ear for non keralites.

      Mr. Antony's statement has to be taken with a pinch of salt, bcoz the congress party is notorious for buckling under pressure from foreign governments. Italians will pull the right strings (read sonia gandhi), and everything will end up in smoke!
    • Manoj Gurjar  •  , Uttar Pradesh  •  2 months ago
      Did you consult before this statement to your high command at 10 janpath in New Delhi?becoz accused are relatives of India(royal family).

      The Italian marines are trigger happy sons of bitches, itching to fire their guns at the slightest excuse, and more so in order to justify their being on board. How can these murderers mistake poor fihsermen to be pirates is beyond me, unless they are complete imbeciles, which they obviously are not. What they are is established beyond any shred of doubt. The arrogant Italian govt is just trying to pull wool over our eyes in a massive cover up operations in trying to confuse our law enforcement authorities of Kerala. I hope they dont succeed and the killers are punished with life imprisonment for wanton killing of innocent civilians, that too in our own country. I shudder to think, if the situation were to be reveresed, and Indian soldiers had killed Italian fishermen, then what would be the world's reaction , and would our insensitive govt go all out to save our soldiers?

      Will Anthony do this? Don't think so because he is a "TOY" @ the hands of Soniya. Poor Fishermen & family members. This is what they are getting for electing congress? Oh...God you only can INDIA from disaster. Jai Hind
    • Gopalkrishna  •  Pune, Maharashtra  •  2 months ago
      I appreciate what Mr Antony, Honourable Minister said that the Italian murders will be dealt with under Indian laws. But I am doubtful that the prosecuting police may be politically pressurised to keep loop-holes in filing the complaint in the court of law, so that they be acquitted for lack of evidence or on benefit of doubt.

        congress is loosing ground & the soil underneath their feet is crumbling. that is only the opportunity to anticipate twilight of justice to the family of deceased - or otherwise, italy would have made idly of fishermen !
      • raj 2 months ago
        Antony should learn something from how the Italian govt. have stood behind two of their soldiers and stop the injustice being done to our soldiers at various occasions
    • dayal  •  Osaka-shi, Japan  •  2 months ago
      If the Italians would have kiiled anyone in US waters, they would have to pay billions penalty and jail terms for convicts. How will Sonia react againsdt Italians?
    • Premnazir  •  2 months ago
      Yes, Mr.Antony, they will be tried as per Indian Law...And what? treated like VIP's ...Law is only for poor Indians
    • MBS Reddy  •  Bangalore, Karnataka  •  2 months ago
      Since they are Italians and the Italian Lady is the boss of Mr. Antony, nothing will happen to those Italians arrested in this Murder Case.

      Indian courts certainly do not have jurisdiction in International waters. the Italian courts have just as much right to detain now and prosecute Indian fishermen. That is of course, no right at all. Making a tragic situation worse is no solution and is an embarrassment to India.
      • poosha 2 months ago
        Will,did you see with your own eyes that this happened in international waters?Even if it were in international waters(which the Indian Govt denies)), Italians will go ahead and shoot to kill any people they see near their ship?There are certain rules and regulations as far as shooting for self defence in the seas is concerned.None of these rules and regulations were followed.All others were sleeping while only 2 were awake.They had no weapons and you are trying to fool yourself if you think that the Indian Govt will believe that seasoned sailors cannot distinguish a pirate boat(pirates use speed boats) from a fishing boat.It is time that the west understood that times have changed.Gone are the days when they could get away with anything(for example- Bhopal gas tragedy).You touch one of us...you will have to answer for that!

      Kasab who is a Terrorist still alive and ticket not yet prosecuted and he killed many not just 2.....these are just 2 Italian Navy men who killed only 2 thinking the fishermen were pirates....as usual our country law and govt will not be able to improve or bring it to the par of other countries.
