For nearly a week this month, a search-and-rescue boat run by a Malta-based charity group scoured the Andaman Sea for Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar. Those aboard the boat, the Phoenix, had word that a wooden skiff crammed with 36 people was making its way to Malaysia. “This crossing is much more dangerous than the Mediterranean,” Marco Cauchi, the boat’s captain, told our Southeast Asia bureau chief, Hannah Beech. “It’s days and days. They run out of food. They become dehydrated. These small wooden boats are not made for this long trip.” Marco has been with the charity, @moas_eu, ever since the group began rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean in 2014. He’d calculated the likely speed of a dilapidated fishing boat and consulted local nautical charts to determine a likely point of interception. “For 3 days, we idled in international waters between Myanmar and Thailand waiting for the boat to appear on the horizon,” Hannah writes. “A storm hit. The crew scoured the swells for upturned boats. Nothing.” A few days later, Rohingya leaders said that the boat had been intercepted by Myanmar maritime authorities. Those on board were charged with the crime of being “illegal migrants.” That designation raises a question: If the Rohingya are foreign interlopers in Myanmar, why are they being stopped from leaving?
