Families of Pakistani sailors held by Somali pirates aboard the MT Honour 25 were briefly detained while protesting in Karachi on Monday. The Palau-flagged tanker was hijacked off Somalia months ago, with crew members from several countries still captive. Relatives say ransom negotiations have made little progress and have repeatedly protested for their release. Police later freed the detained demonstrators, according to family members and an official.
