Today

Available for over a year

The wife of one of the six former British soldiers sentenced to five years in prison in India has called for a more robust response to the "living nightmare" he faces. Paul Towers, who worked on an anti-piracy ship, was amongst the six British men arrested on firearms charges in October 2013 when the ship they were on was found to be full of weapons. Anne Towers told the Today programme that the families had been positive about the court case and were shocked by the verdict.
