Indonesia says it will push back Rohingya refugees adrift on leaking boat

Around 120 Muslim refugees were trying to reach Malaysia when their vessel reportedly foundered off the coast of Aceh, Sumatra

Indonesian authorities have said they will push a boat containing 120 Rohingya Muslims back to international waters despite fears that it could sink off the country's northernmost province of Aceh.

The boat was reportedly leaking, had a damaged engine, and was at risk of capsizing in harsh weather, the United Nations refugee agency said.
