As we speak, both the ship's crew and those who went to clean up the area are being held hostage by Pakistan without charges and, apart from the fact that they have not released them, this is preventing the companies which have undertaken the clean-up operation from going there, because they are frightened that perhaps they too will end up as hostages.
À l’heure actuelle, tant l’équipage du navire que ceux qui se sont rendus sur place pour nettoyer la région sont prisonniers de l’État pakistanais, et ce sans chef d’accusation. Outre le fait que le Pakistan ne les libère pas, cette situation empêche les entreprises chargées du nettoyage de se rendre sur place, de peur d’être à leur tour prises en otage.
