France Ordered To Pay Compensation To PIRATES: Farce As European Court Says Convicted Somalis Were 'Detained 48 Hours Too Long' -- Daily Mail
* France to pay compensation to Somali pirates over 2008 arrests
* Army 'took too long to bring the pirates before a judge', ECHR rules
* France to pay £1,578 - £3,945 to each Somali pirate for 'moral damages'
* Also to pay from £2,367 to £7,100 to cover each pirate's legal costs
France has been ordered to pay thousands in compensation Somali pirates who had attacked French ships, because the pirates' human rights were disregarded when they were arrested.
The French army took too long to bring the pirates before a judge when they apprehended the sea-faring criminals in 2008, the European Court of Human Rights ruled.
France now has to pay between 5,000 and 2,000 euros (£3,945, and £1,578) to each pirate for 'moral damages'.
