Case against Italian Marines: Kerala CM Writes to PM Modi, Says Unfortunate Trial Not in India

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection with thetrial of the Italian marines, accused of killing two fishermen off the Kerala coast in 2012.
He said it was unfortunate that the Italian marines cannot be tried in India.
But the tribunal also stated the marines cannot be prosecuted due to the official immunity enjoyed by them.
He added that as two valuable lives have been lost without any provocation from the victims, we need to bargain for an exemplary amount.
We should also keep our option of approaching the ITLOS within the stipulated time of one year if getting adequate compensation is not possible through negotiations.
