In Pictures: No Country for Rohingya and Bangladeshi Migrants

Rohingya migrants are still being denied asylum by most South-East Asian countries.

On World Refugee Day, this is from The Quint’s archives.

These are photographs of a group of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants from a boat carrying 734 people rescued off Myanmar’s southern coast last week. Those on board had been at sea for more than two months, at the end with little food or water.

The men in these photos were part of a group of about 400 crammed into a warehouse by the Myanmar police. They had arrived the day before, but while the women, children and some men had already been moved, these men were left behind.

There was no sign of the UN refugee agency UNHCR or foreign aid agencies.

Just moments before these photographs were taken, the sky opened up and monsoon rains started pouring down.
