For the family of Captain Sunil James, the agonizing wait for his release continues. On Monday, authorities of the Western African country of Togo will hear his plea for release from a jail, allegedly on false charges of theft and helping pirates.
His family is desperate. They are hoping the merchant navy officer can come home to bury his 11-month-old son Vivaan who died of gangrene and septicaemia earlier this week. While Indian officials have met court authorities, there has been no progress.
