斯里兰卡海军逮捕了17名据称在其水域偷猎的印度渔民,但根据印度驻科伦坡特派团的说法,他们后来被遣返。 The Sri Lankan Navy arrested 17 Indian fishermen for alleged poaching in its waters, but they have since been repatriated, according to the Indian mission in Colombo. 这一事件突显了一个反复出现的问题,因为来自印度和斯里兰卡的渔民往往无意中跨越海洋边界,特别是在帕尔克海峡。 This incident highlights a recurring issue, as fishermen from both India and Sri Lanka often unintentionally cross maritime boundaries, particularly in the Palk Strait. 仅在今年一年,斯里兰卡就拘留了413名印度渔民,扣押了55艘拖网渔船。 This year alone, Sri Lanka has detained 413 Indian fishermen and seized 55 trawlers.
