Taiwan puts pressure for taking to court the six TaiManese sailors on
Maersk Dubai charged with the murder of three Romanian citizens by dumping
them into the sea last spring. Michael MacDonald, a prosecutor in Hallifax,
said that the Canadian court had no jurisdiction on the case as the
clandestine passengers on the Taiwanese ship sailed at that time in the
international waters. Canada further supports Bucharest in its efforts of
having the Taiwanese sailors extradited. Prosecutor MacDonald said that if
the case had been under his jurisdiction he would have imediately put on
trial the sailor for murder or for murder or for murder one or
manslaughter.RRI-RADOR, March 12
