Malaysia has intercepted a boat carrying 56 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar off its northern island of Langkawi, authorities said on Tuesday, with some rights groups expecting further perilous journeys by sea after last year’s surge in violence in Myanmar. The boat with Rohingya refugees restocked with essential supplies at an island in southern Thailand on Sunday before heading to Malaysia. Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency Director General Zulkifili Abu Bakar said the latest refugees would be allowed to enter the country on humanitarian grounds. Malaysia, which has not signed the U.N. Refugee Convention, treats refugees as illegal migrants and is already home to more than 100,000 Rohingya refugees.
