Iranian state TV on Wednesday showed a video of the 15 British sailors and marines who were seized last week, including a female captive who wore a white tunic and a black head scarf and said the British boats “had trespassed” in Iranian waters.

The British government protested Iran’s broadcast of the

captured crew as “completely

unacceptable.”

“Obviously we trespassed into their waters,” British sailor Faye Turney said on the video broadcast by Al-Alam, an Arabic-language, Iranian state-run television

station that is carried across the Middle East.

“They were very friendly and very hospitable, very thoughtful, nice people. They explained to us why we’ve been arrested, there was no harm, no aggression,” she said.

Turney, 26, was shown eating with sailors and marines. At another point, she was seen sitting in a room with a floral curtain, smoking a cigarette. “My name is leading sailman Faye Turney. I come from England. I have served in Foxtrot 99. I’ve been in the navy for nine years,” she said.

Turney was the only person to be shown speaking in the video. It also showed what appeared to be a handwritten letter from Turney to her family. The letter said, in part, “I have written a letter to the Iranian people to apologise for us entering their waters.” The video also showed a brief scene of what appeared to be the British crew sitting in an Iranian boat in open waters immediately after their capture.
