Thanks from Hebei Spirit Two

23 January 2009

Jasprit Chawla and Syam Chetan have expressed their "heartfelt thanks … to all those in the international maritime community who had stood united in their request for the release of the Hebei officers.”

The "Hebei Spirit Two" were released on bail on 15 January – after worldwide outrage at their continuing detention in a South Korean jail – while they appeal against their jail sentence following an oil spill caused when their ship was hit by another vessel.

Both men are likely to remain in Korea until their appeal is heard by the Supreme Court.
