A follow up to the story below is that the Danish Navy may be forced to release the pirates because none of the governments in the region are willing to put them on trial due to already overcrowded prisons.

Herald Sun January 10, 2012
THE Danish navy says it has captured a suspected pirate mothership off the Horn of Africa and rescued 14 people who were being held hostage on it.

The navy says its warship HDMS Absalon, which participates in NATO's Ocean Shield anti-piracy force, encountered the ship on Saturday and the crew boarded it.

They arrested 25 suspected pirates and freed 14 people from Iran and Pakistan.

Navy spokesman Mikael Bill said the hostages were most likely fishermen who had been held for around two months and the pirates were using their fishing vessel.

The hostages were transferred onto the HDMS Absalon, where they were able to call their families.

The Danish navy said on Sunday further investigations are needed to determine what will happen to the suspected pirates.
