Where Outlaws Roam – Gruesome Murders On the Indian Ocean

Human rights and environmental crimes are committed with impunity on the open seas, where 50 million people work. The Outlaw Ocean Project, founded by award-winning investigative journalist Ian Urbina, is dedicated to reporting on these crimes and on the experiences of maritime workers.

In the first of a series of documentaries, Urbina reports on the video-recorded murder of the occupants of an East African fishing dhow by the captain and crew of a Taiwanese-registered fishing vessel which was part of fishing fleet known for aggressive behaviour towards smaller artisanal boats.
