Thailand says 126 asylum-seekers from the Burmese Rohingya minority who were detained by the military a week ago have been sent back out to sea to face certain danger. The UN Refugee Agency had asked to see the detainees three days ago, but was ignored.
Last month, almost 1,000 Rohingyas were detained and then towed out to sea by Thai security forces in boats with little food and no motors. Only a few hundred of those refugees have been rescued, with the rest still missing and feared lost at sea.
