Allegations of “push back” policies of irregular migrants from Myanmar and
Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal. According to the information received, migrants
have travelled irregularly through South-East Asia to enter the territorial waters of
Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Reportedly, after days of navigation resulting from
repeated push backs from one country to another, irregular migrants had limited
access to water and food, resulting in their death during their time at sea or after they
had reached land. Serious concern is expressed about the push back policy
implemented against irregular migrants entering territorial waters. Particular concern
is expressed regarding their health and personal safety whilst at sea. Additional
concern is expressed at the push back policy in instances where some may be asylum
seekers leaving a country where they may face violence, persecution, torture or other
cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment or other serious human rights
violations.
