78 Sri Lankan Tamil Asylum Seekers Held at Indonesian Port
Posted on November 4th, 2009 by admin
A group of 78 Sri Lankan Tamil asylum seekers onboard an Australian custom ship, have refused to step on Indonesian soil. They have refused any sort of medical treatment and identity checks by Indonesian authorities in protest of their detention.
Their vessel was headed to Australia and was rescued by an Australian ship about 10 days ago.
Indonesian authorities are now working to find a place for the Sri Lankan asylum seekers. Indonesian officials say theres no room at a local immigration detention center.
Seafaring asylum seekers through Indonesian waters in a bid to reach Australia has become a political problem for Australia.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has defended the Indonesian policy of detention and processing asylum seekers. He says it may prevent perilous sea journeys by asylum seekers.
Indonesia’s navy recently intercepted another boat carrying 260 Sri Lankans off the coast of Java.

Picky …
Picky motherfuckers, It’s bad enough they fleed Sri Lanka because of appalling conditions. When a country like Indonesia agrees to offer them asylum they throw it back in there face and threaten to starve themselves. They’re not in any position to make demands. If they dont like it – send the bastards back to Sri Lanka. If they wanted a better life for themselves , they should shut the up and show some gratitude.
