If you're being careful to stay out of the sun in the worst hours of the afternoon, if you're putting on sun screen and watching out for the UV index in the weather report, if all your air-conditioning units are running on tilt, think of 27 people who have been stuck on a Danish ship [...]

Malta Today reported today that the interdiction the court handed down to Aldo Cutajar in 2005 was just a few months later revoked by another court order.
