MYANMAR-SEASIA-MIGRANTS

To go with SEAsia-Myanmar-migrants,FOCUS by Kelly MACNAMARA This photo taken on May 20, 2015 shows ethnic Rohingya Muslim Bebe Nu Asha, aged 20, posing at a camp set up outside the city of Sittwe in Myanmar's Rakhine state. As Mahmoud Yasien kneeled before the people smugglers and begged for his pregnant wife's life, the Rohingya migrant's dreams of a better life evaporated, his ship stranded hundreds of miles from its destination in Malaysia. His pleas spared her life and when phone calls relayed news of their nightmare journey back to their community in a displacement camp in Myanmar's western Rakhine state, neighbours cobbled together the cash to pay off the smugglers and buy them back from the boat. His entreaties for mercy were not, however, enough to spare Bebe Nu Asha, who is eight months pregnant, beatings or starvation rations divided out by the smugglers who held them at sea for 40 days.
