Two Myanmar Fishermen Survive Almost a Month at Sea on Ice Box

Jan 20, 2009 | 0 Comments

By Gemma Daley

Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) — Australian maritime authorities rescued two Myanmar fishermen who survived almost a month at sea floating on a portable industrial ice box.

A Coastwatch flight located the men, aged in their 20s, 60 nautical miles (110 kilometers) northwest of Horn Island off the northern coast on Jan. 17, Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Tracey Jiggins said today.

The men were winched from the water and said their 30-foot fishing boat sank on Dec 23. Their 18 colleagues were in the water without floatation devices and the men were unsure of where the boat had sunk, she said.

Press Release: PROTECT THE PERSECUTED ROHINGYA BOATPEOPLE

Jan 16, 2009 | 0 Comments

16th January 2009
The Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO) supports the Press Release dated January 15, 2009 of the Refugees International urging the Thai officials to treat the Rohingya and other boatpeople humanely and “to ensure that refugees seeking asylum are properly screened and are not forced back to their country of origin if it will put them at risk.”
 
The Rohingya are the worst victims of human rights violations in Burma. They are rendered stateless and have no rights within Burma while living in abject poverty. Crimes against humanity have been perpetrated against them, including denial of citizenship rights, severe restriction on freedom of movement, marriage and religion, forced labour, rape, land confiscation, arbitrary arrests, torture, extrajudicial killings and extortion on daily basis. This impossible situation has constrained them to leave their hearths and homes in search of safe shelter and better life.
We express our serious concern over the harsh treatment of the boatpeople by the Thai security forces. Towing and forcing these helpless, hapless and highly vulnerable people back to the sea tying their hands without any foods in engineless boats to expose them to the risk of capsizing and sinking is a merciless action made in utter disregard of international law and other international standards and practices. Report says one of such boats has capsized resulting in the death and missing of more than 300 people. It is not a solution at all.
Therefore, we urge upon the Government of Thailand and all those concerned to treat these boatpeople humanly, and not send the Rohingya asylum seekers back to Burma, where their lives will be in danger. Instead they may be granted adequate protection and assistance on humanitarian ground. We also urge upon the Thai Government with the international community to try for a permanent solution of the longstanding Rohingya problem.
