How Indian Sailor Captain Sunil James Ended Up In A Togo Prison

An Indian sailor, not far from Lome, Togo, was attacked on his boat, and was thrown in a Togo prison. Sunil James was given plain bread, and was kept in a prison holding 80 criminals, but was made for only 20. India was then told that he had been thrown in jail because Indian seafarers were not permitted so close to a certain county, where Sunil was in fact sailing.
I feel like this is very unfair to Sunil, seeing that he was just looking for fish, and he was not a Togolese citizen, so he knew not of the laws and what he was permitted to do in the area that he was sailing.
This relates to politics by showing how the governments of two different and angry countries can talk and work things out so that neither are left in the dust.
