Students call on Indonesian government to clamp down on refugee arrivals

Student protesters have taken to the streets of Indonesia, burning tyres on the doorstep of Aceh’s provincial parliament, to urge the government to clamp down on illegal Rohingya migrant boat arrivals.
More than 1,500 migrants, who fled violent attacks in Myanmar and overcrowded refugee camps in neighbouring Bangladesh, have arrived on the Sumatran island since early November.
