Indonesia moves rejected Rohingya refugees stranded on beach


Sabang (Indonesia) (AFP) – More than 1,000 desperate and exhausted Rohingya refugees have landed on the shores of Indonesia’s Aceh province in the last week. Some refugees were relocated after weeks adrift on a wooden boat, as authorities rejected locals’ efforts to push the members of the persecuted Myanmar minority back to sea.
