The nine Ghanaian sailors arrested onboard the vessel Blue Atlantic with $500 million (2.4 tonnes)worth of cocaine onboard have been sentenced to 10 years each in prison here in Liberia. The judge said that they had acted in violation of the Public Health Law of Liberia. The ship meanwhile continues to sit opposite us on the dock. Last week our electricians ran a cable from the Africa Mercy to the Blue Atlantic so that the security guards who are still onboard guarding her have some electricity. I've been inside Monrovia central prison, and another in Kakata. 10 years is basically a life sentence.
