At least six Rohingya asylum seekers drown off the coast of Aceh in Indonesia;A judge has found Pauline Hanson made a racist comment when she told a Muslim senator to pack her bags and go back to Pakistan.
Senator Hanson has maintained she was engaging in political discourse by pointing out hypocrisy by the Greens deputy in criticising the monarchy while benefiting from immigrating to and living in Australia. The group are part of a growing number of Rohingya fleeing the harsh conditions in refugee camps in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar, after they escaped violence in their home country of Myanmar.“They've been caught between this fighting between the Arakan army and the Tatmadaw and suffering because of that. They've been both victims of collateral damage and directly targeted in attacks. Frequently they've been told to leave their homes, but there really is nowhere for them to go.
The Justice for Harrods Survivors group says the letter signifies the beginning of a separate legal process to address the claims, amid concern the Harrods scheme is inadequate.
