Witness Treatment by US Officials

A POSITION is a statement of support or opposition concerning a major issue or incident effecting mariners, which position has been voted on by the membership at a previous CAMM Annual General Meeting (AGM). The POSITION expresses the majority opinion of the membership. The purpose of a post in this section is to introduce new information not discussed at the annual meeting at which the position was agreed to, but which might require reconsideration of the stated POSITION. Any post on a POSITION will be removed from the site if it simply repeats opinions previously discussed during debate of the POSITION at an AGM.

Witness Treatment by US Officials

New postby Positions Committee on Sat Nov 08, 2008 4:22 am

OPPOSE detention of crew of violating ships for the purpose of serving as material witness(es) for an unreasonable period of time, causing loss of liberty, wages, and proper due process. “Unreasonable period of time" is defined in this instance as exceeding the 29-day period after which a D-1 visa would expire, leaving the crew member(s) unable to move about freely in this country.
