Kaptein Arne Rinnan ble truet med at han ville bli arrestert og dømt til fengsel i 20 år hvis han satte flyktninger i land på Christmas Island i Australia.

HELT : Tampa-kaptein Arne Rinnan skal ha blitt truet med fengsel av australske myndigheter. Men han holdt hodet kaldt og gjorde det han mente var riktig likevel.

SPECIAL REPORT: In a rare interview, Arne Rinnan, the Norwegian captain of the Tampa, remembers his bitter frustration when the Australian government forbade him from bringing the 400 rescued asylum seekers to the mainland.
By Ron Sutton

26 Aug 2011 - 2:50 PM UPDATED 3 Sep 2013 - 6:12 PM

The phone rings in Arne Rinnan’s home, and the voice that answers it is like a quiet echo from a time long past.

Arne Rinnan’s calm, measured responses to the media in the aftermath of the Tampa affair became, in a sense, the wallpaper of the whole saga. And now, the voice is unchanged, only perhaps even a little more resistant to being pulled backinto the limelight than it already was then.

But after several minutes, the Tampa captain allows himself to reflect just a little.

This is what a refugee wrote to him: “Last night, our family prayed for you together, you old sailor from Norway, our rescuer. We remember those fatal hours, when our little wooden boat was shivering in the wind. You are a noble Viking with wisdom and humanity. My youngest son wants to put up a picture of you in his room, and my wife kisses your hands in gratitude".

Malaysia and Thailand leave migrant boats adrift

OXFORD, 13 May 2015 (IRIN) - As Europe focuses on the migrants in the Mediterranean, another humanitarian crisis is playing out on a stretch of water between the Andaman Sea and the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar and Bangladeshi migrants have been deserted by smugglers and left adrift for days without food or water.

Migrants From Myanmar, Shunned by Malaysia, Are Spotted Adrift in Andaman Sea

IN THE ANDAMAN SEA OFF THAILAND — A wooden fishing boat carrying several hundred desperate migrants from Myanmar was spotted adrift in the Andaman Sea between Thailand and Malaysia on Thursday, part of an exodus in which thousands of people have taken to the sea in recent weeks but no country has been willing to take them in.

N’importe quelle tragédie de par le monde fait “vendre” d’habitude, pardonnez ce cynisme ! Les Rohingyas, qui cumulent toutes sortes de misères, n’ont le droit qu‘à peu d’intérêt international pour le moment. L’actualité concernant cette minorité musulmane, paria dans son propre pays d’adoption, la Birmanie, ne manque pas pourtant : ce jeudi, une nouvelle embarcation qui transporte au moins 300 Rohingyas, dont beaucoup de femmes et d’enfants, a été signalée à la dérive près des côtes de Thaïlande. Leur calvaire en mer, souvent sans eau et nourriture pendant des jours, voire des semaines, est loin d‘être terminé car la Thaïlande, pays de transit des migrants clandestins depuis des années, a décidé de durcir fortement sa politique en la matière. Quant à la Malaisie et l’Indonésie, elles comptent désormais refouler tous les bateaux abordant leur littoral.

All at sea: what lies behind Southeast Asia’s migrant crisis?

OXFORD, 15 May 2015 (IRIN) - The plight of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers from Myanmar and Bangladesh, left adrift without food and water for nearly a week, has all the hallmarks of a full-blown humanitarian crisis. Yet despite statements of concern from governments, aid agencies and human rights groups, there is little sign of a coordinated plan to address the issue. Boats have been spotted off the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, apparently abandoned by human trafficking gangs who operate across maritime and land borders and shunned by regional powers.

Dans les eaux d’Asie du Sud-Est, plusieurs milliers de Bangladais et de Rohingyas dérivent dans des conditions déplorables, parfois sans vivres ni même eau. Les Rohingyas sont des musulmans apatrides, pourchassés depuis trois ans par la Birmanie à majorité bouddhiste. Ils fuient les répercussions dont ils font l’objet. Ces derniers mois, la Malaisie était souvent leur destination finale. Mais, depuis la semaine dernière, le pays a décidé de fermer ses frontières aux boat people.

The inquiry into children in immigration detention today heard claims of sexual abuse against children by staff on Nauru, Yahoo News reports.

Former Save the Children case worker Kirsty Diallo told the public hearing today that a 16-year-old boy had been sexually assaulted by a cleaner on the island country last year.

Oliver Laughland of The Guardian reported on those claims last month, saying at the time witness accounts had revealed that “a cleaner employed by the detention centre manager Transfield Services grabbed the genitals of an asylum seeker boy”.

Eyewitness: With Gillian Triggs on Christmas Island to inspect child detainees

If a visit to Christmas Island sounds like fun, think again. A remote tropical island in the Indian Ocean – billed as a birdwatcher’s paradise and a haven for snorkelling – has a dark side. It is “home” to 1102 detainees seeking asylum, including 174 children; many are infants and 26 boys are unaccompanied minors.

Offshore detention more costly for Australia

Australia is paying almost twice as much to detain asylum seekers offshore than in centres on the mainland.

The CEO of the Refugee Council of Australia, Paul Power, says the cost of bridging visas and community detention is far less than keeping people in offshore facilities, like #Manus_Island and #Nauru.

Asylum seekers in limbo on high seas

More than 150 asylum seekers whose boat was intercepted near Christmas Island more than two weeks ago are being held behind locked doors on a customs ship in rooms without windows on the high seas, with no clue to where they are or where the Abbott government plans to take them.

The 153 Sri Lankan asylum seekers, at the centre of High Court case, are locked in windowless cabins on an Australian border protection ship.

The 153 asylum seekers aboard an Australian Customs ship somewhere in the Indian Ocean are being locked up in windowless cabins, their lawyers claim.

Their case, to be processed in Australia, returns to the High Court for a directions hearing in Melbourne on Friday.

They claim because their boat was intercepted 27 kilometres from Christmas Island they were within Australian waters.

The decision not to take them to Australia did not fall within the bounds of “legal reasonableness and it was otherwise disproportionate and therefore invalid”, their statement of claims says.

It goes on to say that mothers and children had been separated from their fathers and husbands on the Customs ship, and there was no freedom of movement.

Their phones and belongings have been confiscated apart from the clothes they were wearing.

Almost all the Sri Lankan asylum seekers are unable to communicate in English and none of them have been asked why they left Sri Lanka.

Their lawyers argue their clients should not be returned to Sri Lanka or transferred to offshore immigration detention centres on Nauru or Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.

That’s because Nauru and PNG are not signatories to international law principles of non-refoulement, which forbids victims of persecution being returned to their persecutors.

The lawyers are demanding “procedural fairness” and an acknowledgement that border protection authorities acted unlawfully.

Last week the asylum seekers won a temporary reprieve that barred their return to Sri Lanka.

A day later the federal government gave an undertaking to give three days notice before moving the group.

Australia may have breached key element of refugee convention in return of Sri Lankans intercepted at sea: UNHCR

The United Nations refugee agency has expressed alarm that Australia may have breached a cornerstone of the refugee convention by returning a group of asylum seekers to Sri Lanka after intercepting their boat at sea.

Volker Turk, Director of International Protection, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said there was a serious risk that the “enhanced screening” of claims at sea fell well short of requirements for the fair processing of claims and could mean that asylum seekers were returned, or refouled, to persecution.

While it was previously stated 153 asylum seekers were on a boat that was intercepted off Christmas Island more than three weeks ago, the document says there are 157.

A document filed by the government reveals the national security committee of cabinet decided on July 1, two days after the boat was intercepted, that those on board ’’should be taken to a place other than Australia’’.
