Vomitous and terrifying: the lifeboats used to turn back asylum seekers
The bulbous orange lifeboat wallowing in the shallows off the coast of Central Java is an unlikely looking weapon - but it’s proving highly effective in Australia’s military campaign against asylum seekers.
To the people forced to travel in them, though, it is a vomitous and terrifying experience.
’’Inside the orange boat it was closed, hot and very dark,’’ says Omar Ali, an Egyptian asylum seeker now in temporary detention in an old office building in Cilacap, Central Java.
