Iran will shoot a movie and publish a book about he detention of the fifteen Royal Navy crewmembers in a bid to disclose the whole truth, DPA reported, citing a statement of Iran armed forces.
The statement, circulated to foreign journalists in Tehran, says that the documentary and the book will trace the whole process, starting from the detention of the British sailors, their interrogations and what was described as "their confessions that they strayed into Iranian waters."
The fifteen British Royal Navy sailors and marines were seized last month while conducting a routine inspection of a merchant vessel at the northern end of the Persian Gulf. Iran said they had strayed into Iranian territorial waters, a claim which the UK vehemently denied.
They were freed on April 4 by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in what he described as goodwill gesture to the UK.
