Sri Lanka to treat rescued Iranian sailors under 'international law'

Sri Lanka is providing care to 32 Iranian sailors rescued from the torpedoed frigate IRIS Dena, following international law, Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath said. The frigate was sunk by a US submarine off Sri Lankas southern coast, killing 84 crew members. Colombo rescued survivors, provided safe haven to a second Iranian warship, and is coordinating with the International Committee of the Red Cross regarding the survivors, while honoring treaty obligations for neutral states under the Hague Convention.
