"We submit that Natia Dzadzama's husband, of Georgian nationality, was unlawfully detained and held by the US navy in Scotland since 7 January, on the marine vessel known as the Marinera and formerly known as Bella 1. The captain's wife is reasonably concerned about her husband's safety and security on the ship, and today we are seeking the intervention of the Scottish court of session in order to protect the legal rights of her husband."
"The Marinera, a Russian-flagged vessel previously known as Bella 1, has been in the Moray Firth in recent days. The Moray Firth is a sheltered area of sea between the east Highland coast and the coasts of Moray and Aberdeenshire. The vessel was captured by US forces earlier this month as it travelled through the waters between Iceland and Scotland. The sanctioned oil tanker had reportedly been pursued across the Atlantic by US forces, after apparently approaching the naval blockade around Venezuela."
The Marinera, a Russian-flagged vessel formerly known as Bella 1, was captured by US forces while travelling between Iceland and Scotland and has been located in the Moray Firth in recent days. Natia Dzadzama, the captain's wife, and her lawyers lodged a petition at the Court of Session in Edinburgh seeking a judicial review and emergency order, alleging Captain Avtandil Kalandadze, of Georgian nationality, has been unlawfully detained by the US navy since 7 January and is in legal limbo without recourse to a court or tribunal. Lawyers seek to prevent removal of the ship from the court's jurisdiction. Lord Young granted a restricted interim interdict pending a full hearing.
