Description
Indonesia's navy rescues 200 more asylum seekers from waters off Aceh however their military seems determined to copy Australia's policy of turning asylum seeker (read: someone who has to leave their own country because they are in danger, and who arrives in another country and asks to be allowed to live there) boats around and sending thousands of men, women, and children, back into the open ocean.
It should be noted that hundreds of people are killed on this journey across the water. For example, this article: South-East Asian migrant crisis: Claims up to 200 dead with 14 people, including seven children, dead before boat turned around by navies.
In Australia, asylum seekers (read: people in trouble who only want to have a shot at a real life) are regarded with disgust and dismissal. They simply aren't seen as real people, instead they're treated as criminals, forced into detention centers where they are (allegedly) abused by guards.
In short, the Australian (and now Indonesian) governments are embracing racism and xenophobia rather than human decency when it comes to asylum seekers (read: human beings who aren't safe living in their home country and therefore undertake a huge risk and sacrifice to escape that terror and want to preserve their and their childrens' lives).

These are the people I don`t mind in my country. They are poor people escaping from poverty, war and etc. However, criminals with no background checks need to stay out.
