# Pitcairn Islanders Lose Appeal

The Privy Council, the court of final appeal for UK overseas territories, rejected the men's appeal following a lengthy investigation and legal battle.
The men had said Pitcairn was not under British sovereignty and English Law had not been properly incorporated there.
They will serve sentences ranging from six years in jail to community service.
