Washington (Daily Pakistan Online) At a time when the world was fighting the corona virus, shameless pirates were looting across Asia.
According to a new report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), piracy has risen sharply across Asia during the Corona virus epidemic.
In the first six months of the year, 50 cases were reported, up from 25 in the same period last year. This report is published by RepCap.
Incidents that are outside the borders of a state are called piracy, while if they are within the borders of a state, they are called armed robbery.
Brendan Prince, a scholar at the American University of Tennessee, says it is possible that people have been forced into piracy during the corona virus.
He told the BBC: "I fear that Code 19 will reduce global trade, reduce growth and lead to increased poverty and unemployment. There will also be an increase in piracy.
The number of people infected with the corona virus worldwide has exceeded 13.8 million, while more than 590,000 people have died from the disease so far.
The United States is the most affected country in the world by Corona, with about 3.5 million people infected and more than 137,000 dead so far.
The disease has so far been confirmed in more than 2.5 million people in Pakistan, while 5,505 deaths have been reported and more than 183,000 patients have recovered. The number of victims in Adharandia has exceeded one million
