Sri Lankan fishermen ecstatic to be home

The six Sri Lankan fishermen rescued from Somali pirates and brought to the island on Thursday, had been subjected to cruel treatment and had suffered a traumatic experience, the owner of Nimesha Duwa fishing vessel, S A M Fernando told the Daily News yesterday.

He said the rescued fishermen were ecstatic when they saw their families, after being held captive for six months.

He said most of the fishermen had even given up hope of living until they were rescued by a Spanish ship.

The rescued fishermen who are residents of Kalutara and Negambo have now returned to their homes and are recovering from the traumatic experience they underwent as hostages,” he said.
