"Eight accused were convicted for the offence of committing an act of piracy and three others for aiding and abetting an act of piracy," a statement said. Charges related to "acts of terrorism" were dropped by the court. The accused were arrested in early December after they unsuccesfully tried to hijack a Seychelles coast guard boat. The international piracy cases are the first to be prosecuted in the Seychelles. "There are 29 other suspected and accused Somali pirates who are still awaiting trial in Seychelles or transfer from the Republic of Seychelles to Somalia," the statement said. The Seychelles are a group of more than 100 islands located off the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean.
