Thread:Comments:Italians facing Indian fishermen murder charges/Italians Should Be Prosecuted Under Indian Law.

The fishing boat was flying an Indian flag, so it was a small piece of Indian territory in the exclusive economic zone(EEZ). The Italians attacked an Indian fishing boat in India's EEZ. The EEZ extends upto 200 nautical miles where India protects its wildlife and natural resources. If the Italian ship had killed a protected species or wildlife then action would be taken under Indian law. In what way are human beings inferior to animals or wildlife. If India has the right to defend its wildlife and natural resources, then India also has the right to defend its citizens.
