Kudos to the GOI.. They're taking the correct measures.. Without acting like total jackasses like the some of those retards in TN..

There is a legal procedure in a sovereign country and they are pursuing it.. If they fail in that they will have to abide by the rulings

Just because some joker of a politician in TN says these people are innocent fishermen, It does not make them so, SL Navy arrests hundreds of illegal poachers from TN every year, If they want collective punishment all them would be given the death penalty.. These smugglers were arrested in 2011 along with 3 Sri Lankans.. It had taken 3 years of judicial procedure to come to an verdict

India to appeal against Lanka court's death sentence to five fishermen | Business Standard News

The Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi has said that the Indian Government will appeal against the judgment of a court in Sri Lanka to sentence five Indian fishermen to death.

Ministry of External Affairs Spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said the Indian High Commission in Colombo will appeal to a higher court against the judgement of the Colombo High Court.

New Delhi, he said, feels the fishermen are not guilty and will pursue all legal process to prove their innocence.

The Colombo High Court had on Thursday sentenced five Indians and three Sri Lankans to death on charges of drug smuggling. The eight accused were taken into custody for heroin drug running in 2011.

The Indian fishermen from Rameswaram - P. Emerson, P.Augustus, R.Wilson, K.Prasath, and J.Lanklet - were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy in November 2011. They claim that they have been falsely implicated in the case and their lawyers have said they would file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the sentence.

The fishermen were remanded earlier in a prison in Jaffna, and were later jailed at the maximum security Welikada Prison in Colombo.

The Sri Lankan court's verdict has sparked violent protests in the fishing hamlets of Rameswaram, the Hindu has reported.

The protesters have removed about a kilometer of railway track and torched a bus cutting off the traffic between Rameswaram and the mainland.

Sri Lankan President has earlier ordered the officials to release all the fishermen arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy as a goodwill gestures but that order covered only the fisherman arrested for poaching in Sri Lankan waters.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam has strongly condemned the Sri Lankan court's ruling of death sentences to the fishermen.

In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he strongly condemned the unjust conviction.

He said the Government of Tamil Nadu has consistently insisted that these fishermen were innocent and that the case has been foisted on them and also that the evidence against the fishermen in the court is a fabrication.

India govt has supported and justified the killing of Tamilnadu fishermen by Lanka using intrusion as a pretext , but wonder why you bother to ask for source

BTW, Intruding into "Lankan waters' is tricky subject, a 30 km waters had been Tamilnadnadu fishermen's traditional waters

The exact statement of the 1974 agreement (Maritime boundary in Palk Strait) was, "Each country shall have sovereignty and exclusive jurisdiction and control over the waters, the islands, the continental shelf, falling on its own side of boundary. The vessels of Srilanka and India will enjoy in each other's waters such rights as they have traditionally enjoyed therein".

BS all allegations.. And Northern waters were a conflict zone for the the last 3 decades!!! Some parts controlled by the Tigers and some parts by the GOSL.. TN was a major smuggling point of weapons to the LTTE during atleast 2 decades

Kachchateevu was never India's or Indira Gandhi's to give away in the first place.. All they did was demarcate the maritime boundary line of two sovereign nations.. Kachchateevu was the property of the British colonial office and just like Kashmir, North Eastern India and Andaman Islands were given to the republic of India because they were administered by British India.. Katchchateevu was administerd by Ceylon and falls right within it's territory was given to them

The Union government on Friday informed the Supreme Court that the question of retrieval of Kachchatheevu from Sri Lanka did not arise as no territory belonging to India was ceded to Sri Lanka

union govt is right, Katchatheevu did not belong to India, it belongs to Tamilandu , the erstwhile Ramanathapuram kingdom - Rameswaram

"The island was given to Sri Lanka on the basis of a bilateral agreement in 1974. To retrieve it now, we have to go to war," Rohatgi said.

Kachatheevu Island cannot be retrieved from Lanka: AG tells SC - The Times of India

» Katchatheevu – History katchatheevu

The island of ‘Katchatheevu’ which belongs to Tamils and Tamilnadu, was gifted to Sri Lanka, in the year 1974, by the then Prime Minister Tmt. Indira Gandhi, overlooking all constitutional provisions. It was done in order to maintain good relationship with Sri Lanka. As a result of this hand over, the Tamil Indian Fishermen lost their rights which they exercised over the island and the surrounding seas for over thousand years.

This deprivation has resulted in our Fishermen being attacked by the Sri Lankan Navy. Estimates say that so far, 500 Indian Fishermen have been killed, 3000 fishermen were permanently disabled and thousand others were injured, besides hundreds of them have disappeared. many more have been illegally detained in Sri Lankan jails and have been harassed and tortured. All these are some brief accounts of atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan Navy on our innocent Indian Tamil Fishermen.

Oh wow what a unbias credible source - Movement to retrieve Katchatheevu..

Btw the maritime agreement done March 23, 1976 between the Foreign Secretaries of India and Sri Lanka constituted the 1976 agreement. It was agreed that “fishing vessels and fishermen of India shall not engage in fishing in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Sri Lanka,”

Tamil Nadu has had success in bullying states like Karnataka and Kerala.

They should realise that this is not going to work with Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has been dealing with Tamil extremists for a long time.

It's unfortunate that death sentences are automatically commuted in Sri Lanka.

Othewise we could have watched Tamil Nadu tear itself to shreds with the hanging of these drug smugglers.

to stop the bullying , India should free Tamilnadu from its union, what say you ?

They should realise that this is not going to work with Sri Lanka.

you are a joker !!! if not for India cozying with its Aryan cousins, Lanka is dead fish, comparing , a pop of 70 m, an economy 10 X larger with a vocal 5 m diaspora , so much so that even the prez secretly meets Tamil Tiger diaspora

(Lanka-e-News- 27.Oct.2014, 9.25PM) UNP and opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe challenged the government to reveal details of the Tiger Diaspora representative who Mahinda Rajapakse met with during his recent tour of America. It is President Mahinda Rajapakse who is working on behalf of the tiger Diaspora while falsely fastening the label of ‘Tiger’ on the UNP , and making a hue and cry about it , Ranil accused with supporting evidence.

Wickremesinghe while refuting the baseless charges leveled against the UNP , said, despite the people of the country making protests demanding the abolition of the executive Presidency , the President who says he cannot yield to the people’s demands , has announced that he would abolish the executive Presidency if the Tamil Diaspora makes a request clearly confirming this allegation against him is true. Ranil made these comments exposing the conspiracy hatched by the President in collusion with the Tigers , when he met with the Colombo district women’s representatives at Colombo Mayor’s official residence.

Sri Lanka has been dealing with Tamil extremists for a long time.

It's unfortunate that death sentences are automatically commuted in Sri Lanka.

Othewise we could have watched Tamil Nadu tear itself to shreds with the hanging of these drug smugglers.

and Sinhala Buddhists are holy angels lol
