Sri Lanka has released all 54 Indian fishermen arrested this week for poaching in the country’s territorial waters, Indian officials confirmed on Saturday.
The Indian official sources here said that 40 of them were released on Friday and the remaining 14 have been released yesterday morning.
The 54 Indian fishermen were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy on March 24 at two different locations in the north and northeastern seas. The Navy also seized their five trawlers.
Upon their arrest, the Indian High Commission has reiterated that issues associated with Indian fishermen should be dealt in a humanitarian manner.
Accordingly, the fishermen were released following the request by the Government of India. (Darshana Sanjeea Balasuriya)

What would have happened if Sri Lankan fishermen had poached in Indian waters?

If there is no deterrent for encroaching our territorial boundaries, Indian fishermen will continue this practice, at unnecessary cost to our navy, our public money and our fishing resources!

Why is the Indian High Commissioner interfering in our domestic affairs, and our dealing with poachers? Do all Indian fishermen have his diplomatic immunity?
