Did I miss someone else posting this? Somali pirates
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew...urope.html
Quote:Geert-Jan Knoops, an international criminal law attorney and professor at the Royal University of Utrecht, has suggested that the Dutch trial might encourage pirates to surrender just in order to seek a better life in Western countries. ...
Willem-Jan Ausma, a Dutch defence attorney who is representing another pirate, described his client's relief to be in a Western prison.
"My client feels safe here. His own village is dominated by poverty and sharia [Islamic law] but here he has good food and can play football and watch television. He thinks the lavatory in his cell is fantastic," he said.

They are probably hoping they can be acquitted on a technicality, like for not being properly mirandized, and that then we will spend millions to send them to a tropical island to retire, like the Uighurs.
