We thought we had no hope which is why we took to the seas, but Sri Lanka is in a more precarious position. We know they have also taken to the seas with Port City, which is going to be yet another burden. Which is why we handed back the money and even gave a little bit more.”One of the released hostages said, “The conditions of being held hostage were better than our employment benefits, so we would request the pirates to please take the ship hostage again.”<a href="http://newscurry.co/somali-pirates-release-sl-hostages-and-hand-back-govt-paid-ransom-after-being-told-how-much-sl-are-in-debt/" target="_blank">Source</a></blockquote>
