Let's see, how did Jill Carroll put it? "The Mujahedeen are merciful and kind that’s why I’m free and alive."
British marine Mrs. Faye Turney from F99 Royal Navy on Wednesday admitted entry into Iranian territorial waters and apologized for doing so.
Turney, who is going to be freed soon, said that Iranian coast guards treated them friendly and with hospitality.
"My name is Faye Turney. I come from England, I live in England at present. I have served on F99. I have served in Navy nine years, I was arrested on Friday on 23rd of March which obviously has passed internal waters.
"I was treated friendly and hospitable they are nice people, they explained why we were arrested, and there is no aggression, no hurt, no harm, they are very very compassionate," she said in an interview.
Meanwhile, she forwarded a letter to her family to inform them about her well-being.
An Iranian foreign ministry official handed over the letter to British Ambassador to Tehran Jeffrey Adams on Wednesday.
"I want you all to know that I am well and safe. I am being well looked after.
"The people are friendly and hospitable, very compassionate and warm. I have written a letter to the Iranian people to apologise for us entering into their waters.
"Please don't worry about me; I am staying strong. Hopefully it won't be long until I am home, she said in part of her letter to her family.
Iran announced that she will be freed soon.
15 British marines, who had violated Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, were arrested on Friday.
Update: Iran is
now denying that she will be released soon. Mottaki reportedly said "I was probably misquoted." Funny how it was reported in IRNA, isn't it?
