Detained Hampshire sailor threatened with "serious" action
9:52am Tuesday 1st December 2009 in
IRAN has threatened “serious” action against the five detained British sailors.
Southampton yachtsman Oliver Smith, 31, was taken with four colleagues as they were sailing from Bahrain to Dubai.
The Foreign Office said it was looking into reports from Iran that ''serious'' action would be taken against the five if they were found to have had ''evil intentions''.
Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaie, hardline Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's head of staff, told the country's Fars news agency: ''Judiciary will decide about the five ... naturally our measures will be hard and serious if we find out they had evil intentions.''
