2 years in prison. How did it ever get to this? 35 men went to work, 6 of them British veterans who were devoted to protecting others. On the 12th of October 2013 35 men innocent were arrested while doing their jobs. Ensuring the terrorist of the seas - pirates were kept at bay so that seafarers could feel safe at their place of work. 35 innocent men lost their freedom. I still struggle believing this has even happened. They say time is a healer, but it is not getting any easier and in many ways it gets harder. What I struggle most with is coming to terms with the fact one countries failing judicial system has the power to imprison 35 innocent men from 4 different countries for a crime they didn't commit, despite overwhelming evidence and knowledge that these men commited no crime at all. Not one of the 4 countries most powerful leaders have had the guts to stand up for their citizens and demand they are released. 35 families are left without the men they love. 35 men are languishing in a prison in the most filthy conditions. The treatment is barbaric, human rights are being violated and they are a thousand miles from home, friends and family. Can this really continue for another 3 years? For 4 whole years our lives have been turned upside down, living day to day not knowing if the men who went to work in 2013 will return. Despite all of this the friendships, support and love we have had from so many people all over the world. Family, friends and strangers has filled our hearts with love and given us the strength we so desperately need throughout this testing and unbelievable ordeal. Again we have no idea how long this ordeal will go on for or how many more court battles we will need to fight. Unfortunately it comes at a cost and our fund raising is as vital now as it was in 2014. If you haven't already done so and can spare £1 please visit our fund page and pledge £1 if we got even just £1 from all the signers we would have the funds we need to carry on this fight, without the worry of where we are going to find money to pay for a lawyer and appeals. you can find the fund page at www.justgiving.com/freesgo6 and also through our website www.chennai6.co.uk It certainly doesn't get easier the longer this goes on and every day is harder than the last but with your help we've got stronger and learned how to cope and deal with the battles that are thrown at us. Never underestimate the power your words and actions of support has on everyone involved, we've made a short video from some of the lovely videos of support you had all sent through to us in the hope it will be shared and that when we feel weak we can look at the video and find the strength to carry on. As always a million thank yous to each and every one of you. Yvonne xx
