Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The social medias are now uploading pre-recorded videos of each crew member saying they were kidnapped.
Can't imagine sweden will have the spine to do anything even though the crewmates were taken hostage on what i imagine is a vessal attributed to them in international waters. The fact that israel takes these actions is because they know western countries will give them impunity.
Looks like it’s UK flagged. Still, one of its citizens was kidnapped in an international act of piracy.
France had one of its politicians kidnapped, I doubt it’s going to to do anything either.
If it's an act of piracy then does that change possible jurisdiction? I skimmed through some articles and it seems like law around international waters is rather messy and ill-defined.
From a quick search, it seems like international piracy has universal jurisdiction. So any country could prosecute I guess. I imagine countries have laws regarding piracy committed against vessels under their flag or committed against their citizens, but that's per country so it depends on UK and/or Swedish law.
But it also seems like the legal definition of piracy includes "private", so maybe state actions don't technically fall under piracy law (despite clearly being piracy)?
