The government will not indemnify the family of a Chinese boat captain killed in a clash with the Coast Guard but would release his seven crewmen as requested by China, Foreign Affairs Secretary Domingo Siazon Jr. said yesterday.

Siazon explained Beijing had no basis to demand compensation or file a diplomatic protest since the fishermen were poaching in Philippine waters.

The boat's skipper was killed and his crew was arrested after a clash with the Coast Guard off Palawan last Friday.
