Iran denied reports that the vessel hijacked by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden was carrying a 'dangerous consignment'.
The pirates say they opened the cargo of the Iranian ship, and several Somalis died, while others lost hair and suffered skin burns. The Iranian shipping company denies these rapports and also denies having paid $200,000.
Andrew Mwangura of East African Seafarers' Assistance Program says that the Iranian ship was to be released but that the pirates want more money.
The shipping company says that Iran reserves the right to file a lawsuit against Andrew Mwangura at an authorized international court for spreading lies.
The ship was carrying 42,500 tons of minerals and industrial products for a German firm.
