‘Hebei Two’ to be freed: ITF comment

11/06/09

Commenting on the news that the Hebei Spirit officers have been found not guilty of the main charge levelled against them ITF General Secretary David Cockroft said: “We are pleased - everyone is pleased - to see these men’s innocence upheld. But, like everyone in shipping, we find it unacceptable that the lesser charge against them was never removed. We commend them for their bravery these last 18 months, congratulate V Ships for standing by them so effectively, and join everyone who has struggled to get them set free in expressing relief at their imminent return home. We cannot however excuse the unfair criminalisation that they have undergone and the contradictory nature of the dual verdicts."
