The 25 crew members of the car carrier Galaxy Leader are marking one year in detention in Yemen with little prospect of imminent release and few signs their fate is high on the international diplomatic agenda.
The Bahamas-flagged 5,100-ceu Galaxy Leader (built 2002) was hijacked on 19 November last year and crew members from Bulgaria, the Philippines, Ukraine, Mexico and Romania have been held since the dramatic helicopter-backed operation.
