Latorre wishes for Girone return on his birthday

(ANSA) - Bari, May 25 - Italian marine Massimiliano Latorre wished for the prompt return from India of fellow marine Salvatore Girone on his birthday Wednesday.
    "Today is a partial feast for me," Girone wrote on Facebook.
    Latorre and Girone have been held by India for four years without charge in connection with the shooting deaths of two Indian fishermen during an anti-piracy mission in 2012.
    Latorre has been on medical leave in Italy for the past two years, but Girone is still in India.
    An international arbitration court in The Hague on April 29 ruled that India should let the marine return home pending resolution of the case.
    The foreign ministry said Monday that Italy has presented a petition to the Indian supreme court calling on it to speedily implement that ruling.
    An Indian court hearing may decide tomorrow to let Girone return to his homeland earlier than expected.
