85 Rohinya migrants caught off Thai coast
SATUN, February 9 (TNA) - A group of 85 Muslim minorities was caught on board a boat in the Thai sea, off the southern Satun Province, on Wednesday.
The 85 Muslims, apparently to be ethnic Rohingya men, were intercepted on the 12 x 2.5-meter roofless boat off Satun's Petra Island.
According to local authorities, the Muslim migrants had been in the sea for four days before the boat engine stopped running in the Thai water territory. All have been detained for further interrogations and deportation. The authorities believe that all the Muslim men were on their way to work in Malaysia and Indonesia. (TNA)
