Notes:
- overloaded fishing vessel with 74 asylum seekers may drown
- not big enough to carry all and leaking before it set out
- local fisherman were mobilised to take off victims
- kippers didn't want to sail the boat and a local businessman collected $506 a passenger
- most asylum seekers were in custody at Jogiakarta immigration centre
summarise:
A overloaded fishing vessel carrrying 74 asylum seekers might all have drown because the ship wasn't big enough to carry them all and it was leaking before setting out. Local fishermen were mobilised to take off the asylum seekers and crews. However, the skippers didn't want to sail the boat and a local businessman collected $506 a passenger to leave. It is a criminal behaviours. Last night, most asylum seekers were in custody at Jogiakarta immigration centre. It is one of the most comprehensive busts of an Indonesian people-smuggling operation.
Personal Reflections:
I think it is not only the crimine for skippers and businessman to not take off the victims or exchanging in money benifit, but also not moral. It is detestable that the smuggling poeple cause to the disaster in some boat travelling cases. So, it's important to sentence them but the most important thing is to decrease the people illegally coming to Australia.
