Thailand Pushes Back 200 Rohingya Boat People: Navy

[Buchholz]

And still it continues:

The Thai military has been accused of shooting Rohingya asylum seekers fleeing conflict in western Burma.

People who were on the boat have told the ABC that they jumped into the water and swam when Thai authorities began towing it out into international

waters. It is claimed Thai soldiers then fired shots.

The military has denied shooting the asylum seekers, but Thai villagers say they later retrieved two bodies from the water, one with a gunshot wound

to the head.................

Of course, the fact that the military has denied it means it can't possibly be true.
