The Malaysian Ministry of Information published photos on its Facebook page on Fridayshowing scores of migrants, many of them men with their shirts off, packed inside a Thai-owned 80-foot boat in a space with 6-foot ceilings. A majority of the migrants are Rohingya Muslims, who the Malaysians call Bengalis, a group of people who have been fleeing persecution from the country otherwise known as Burma. Others on the boat are said to be Bangladeshi.
