Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Australia China India Indonesia Japan Malaysia Philippines Thailand Vietnam Search Search: Thailand detains 78 more migrants caught at sea By AMBIKA AHUJA,Associated Press Writer AP - 42 minutes ago BANGKOK, Thailand - The Thai navy has detained a boat filled with 78 illegal migrants, many of whom had lacerations and burns they said were inflicted by Myanmar soldiers, authorities said Tuesday. A navy patrol spotted the ethnic Rohingya migrants Monday in the Andaman sea off the country's southwest coast in a rickety boat with a broken engine, said navy Capt. Manat Kongpan. They were put in police custody, but a senior Thai navy official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the migrants would be expelled once their boat was fixed. The plight of the Rohingyas _ a Muslim ethnic group who fled persecution in Myanmar _ was highlighted earlier this month following accusations some of them have been abused by Thai authorities. Human rights groups say that the Thai navy has twice intercepted boats filled with hundreds of Rohingyas and sent them back into the high seas, where hundreds later died. Thai military officials have repeatedly denied the allegations, insisting they only detain and repatriate illegal migrants. The migrants, who were picked up near Surin island in Ranong, 460 kilometers (290 miles) southwest of the capital, Bangkok, told Thai authorities they had been attacked by soldiers from Myanmar. "They said they were beaten when their boat was intercepted by Myanmar soldiers," Manat said, noting he could not verify the migrants' account. "They were exhausted and hungry." Ranong province police Col. Weerasilp Kwanseng said many of them "had wounds on their bodies. ... Some of them looked like whiplashes and burns." Weerasilp said about a dozen were under the age of 18. Thai broadcaster NBT showed the emaciated and haggard migrants being fed by Thai police on the mainland where medical treatment was provided. The coverage _ with emphasis on the care the migrants received from the Thais and their claims that they had been roughed up by Myanmar authorities _ appeared to be an attempt to mitigate some of the damage done to Thailand's image earlier this month when the Bangkok-based Arakan Project accused the navy of forcing as many as 1,000 mostly Rohingya migrants out to sea in boats with no engines and little food or water. But if the latest group of migrants is sent back to Myanmar, rights groups are likely to cry foul again. The Washington-based group Refugees International has warned that any Rohingya repatriated to Myanmar "is subject to arrest and abuse." "Until the Rohingya are recognized by Burma as citizens, neighboring countries like Thailand must protect and assist this vulnerable population," it said in a statement released earlier this month. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told The Associated Press last week that his government was willing to discuss the migrant problem with the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, but he stopped short of saying the agency would be granted access to those still under Thai custody. "We have to find a way that everyone can accept, but we cannot let illegal immigration affect national security," he said. Tens of thousands of Rohingyas live in camps in Bangladesh, where they have been granted refugee status. But many brave the seas in search of a better life. In recent years, one of the most popular migration routes has been by boat to Thailand then overland to Malaysia.
