Indonesian students evict Rohingya from shelter demanding deportation (www.aljazeera.com)

Large crowd storms into building housing the refugees in the city of Banda Aceh, saying they should be deported.

Hundreds of university students in Indonesia’s westernmost province of Aceh have stormed a temporary shelter for Rohingya refugees, demanding they be deported.

Protesters on Wednesday forced more than 100 Rohingya out of a convention centre in the city of Banda Aceh, in the latest episode of discrimination against the persecuted minority group from Myanmar.

More than 1,500 Rohingya refugees have arrived on the shores of Aceh since mid-November in what the United Nations says is their biggest influx in eight years.

Some of their boats have faced rejection by Indonesian locals and in some cases, returned to sea.

Videos of the incident showed the students, many wearing jackets with different universities’ insignias, running into the convention centre’s basement, chanting “Kick them out” and “Reject Rohingya in Aceh”.

The students were also seen kicking the belongings of the Rohingya men, women and children seated on the floor and crying in fear.

The refugees were then led out, some carrying their belongings in plastic sacks and taken to trucks.

Those students should have their places revoked. Fairly simple.
