Pirates Captured by French Warship to be Tried in Kenya

The eleven Somali pirates captured by a French warship on Wednesday are now being taken to Kenya to stand trial.

All eleven pirates were captured by the Nivose, a French warship operating as part of a larger EU force that has been assembled to fight piracy in the area. The pirates will be tried under an agreement that had been reached by Kenya and the EU.

The United States and Britain have also formed agreements with Kenya that will in essence allow Nairobi to act as an international tribunal for pirate crimes.

While the international community has vowed to step up their efforts against pirates operating off the Somali coast the pirate attacks on passing vessels has continued.
