Seychelles' Prisons and Graffiti in Syria

BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Seychelles' Prisons and Graffiti in Syria

Somalian Pirates in Seychelles and the boy who believes he triggered the Syrian uprising

Somalian pirates in the Seychelles and the boy who believes that his graffiti was the trigger for the Syrian uprising.

In this edition Anthony Denselow travels to the Seychelles in search of pirates. Among the glitz and glamour of the Islands' luxury resorts he finds a very different kind of gated community - the type that you can't escape! In Jordan, Nigel Wilson meets a young boy who believes that his anti-Assad graffiti triggered the uprising in his home country. The violence that has taken place in Syria since then has resulted in the deaths of several of the boy's family members - so does he regret those scribblings now?
