78% Informative
Survivors of Red Sea dive-boat sinking say they were pressured to sign official statements in Arabic .
They say they couldn't understand and had been translated from English by an employee of the boat company.
The Sea Story had been carrying 46 people when it sank in the early hours of 25 November last year .
Four bodies were recovered and seven people are still missing, including two British divers.
Multiple survivors say they were told they had to name an individual and specific crime of which they were accused.
A final attempt by Dive Pro Liveaboard to get survivors to sign waivers was made as one group tried to leave for Cairo .
"Just because I couldn't name the person and the crime, it didn't mean someone wasn't to blame," says Sarah .
