Two months on, fate of 10 Pakistani sailors held by Somali pirates hangs in balance
Ten Pakistani sailors aboard the MT Honour 25, a Palau-flagged oil tanker hijacked by Somali pirates two months ago, remain in captivity as their families protest the government's inaction. The government refuses to negotiate with pirates, citing international jurisdiction, while the crew faces deteriorating health due to lack of food, water, and medical supplies.
