The race version “F1x” won a 2010 World Championship Title, proving again, that rough water capabilities are a priority in hull design here at Force Boats. The F24 features triple stepped lifting foils and a stepped chine to create a fast, dry ride.

Border Force holds suspected asylum seeker group for over two weeks before sending back to Indonesia, authorities say

A group of 44 men attempting to reach Australia by boat in June were intercepted by Australian Border Force officials after three days at sea, according to Indonesian officials. 

The men say they were held for 18 days before being sent back to the southern Indonesian island of Rote. 

What's next? 

The Department of Home Affairs is yet to respond to the claims reported by Indonesian authorities to the ABC.

A group of 44 men attempting to reach Australia from Java in June were intercepted by an Australian Border Force (ABF) vessel and sent back on two boats after being held onboard for up to 18 days, according to Indonesian authorities.

The men are mostly from Bangladesh, but also include eight ethnic Rohingyas. They were discovered on Indonesia's southernmost island of Rote by local police on Monday.

Rote's Police Chief Mardiono told the ABC the group flew to Jakarta from Malaysia in mid-June before boarding wooden fishing boats with Indonesian crew and departing from Java's southern coast.

They spent three days at sea attempting to reach Australian waters, after which they were intercepted by and held on the ABF vessel, according to police.

The men claim ABF officers then provided them with two aluminium boats equipped with supplies and sent them back to Indonesia near Rote island.

The ABC has not been able to independently verify the claims.

Second interception in one week

The group of men are now being processed by Indonesian immigration authorities.

In a video shared by police, one of the men, Muhammad Rohman, said the group was initially moved from their wooden boats to a large ABF vessel.

Mr Rohman told police he was part of a larger group of more than 70 people who paid up to $15,000 to agents who flew them from Malaysia to Jakarta in mid-June, and then organised wooden fishing boats crewed by Indonesians to take them to Australian waters.

"They gave us food and held us onboard for 19 days," the video shows him telling police.

"Then they woke us up and loaded us on to a small boat. Initially two men among us were called and taught how to operate the boat, and after 10 to 15 minutes of practising, the rest of us were called to board.

"The Australian government does not want us."

Their arrival in Rote island comes just over a week after another group of 28 suspected asylum seekers were found stranded on a boat in West Java.

According to Indonesia's Maritime Coordination Centre, the 23 Bangladeshis, four Chinese and one Indian citizen claim they were intercepted by an ABF crew near Christmas Island and detained onboard for 11 days before being provided with a speedboat to return to Indonesian waters.

Indonesian authorities have detained at least five separate groups of people this year seeking to go through the country to get to Australia by boat.

Another four boats have made it to Australia, including one in May that arrived on Christmas Island, two that arrived on the Western Australian coast and another in the Torres Strait.

A spokesperson for the Australian Border Force told ABC it did not confirm or comment on operational matters.

Blog Home Office in the media

Latest statement in response to small boat crossings

A Home Office spokesperson said:

“Everyone wants to see an end to the dangerous small boat crossings. They are undermining our border security and putting lives at risk.

“We are taking action to smash the people smuggling gangs responsible for this trade, establishing a new Border Security Command to bring together our intelligence and enforcement agencies, equipped with new counter-terror-style powers and hundreds of personnel stationed in the UK and overseas.

“Our staff continue with their dedicated mission to save lives in the Channel whilst working with our French and other international partners to ensure the criminals responsible face the full extent of the law.”

Background:

• We have already entered the recruitment process for a highly skilled Border Security Commander to protect our borders.
• We will recruit hundreds of new officers, investigators and prosecutors to be stationed both in the UK and overseas tackling the irregular migration upstream and across the border security system. This cross-system approach will allow us to maximise our international and intelligence capabilities.
• Britain is a tolerant and compassionate country, and we have a proud tradition of welcoming people fleeing persecution. But the system needs to be controlled and managed and we need strong borders.
• We will seek new security agreements with our European partners to ensure access to real-time intelligence and enable joined up policing investigations.

Recent Poll Examined Support for Political Violence in U.S.

A nationwide poll last month found that 10 percent of those surveyed said the “use of force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.”

By Alan Feuer

• July 13, 2024

Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has studied American attitudes toward political violence since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, conducted a nationwide poll on the topic last month. It found that 10 percent of those surveyed said that the “use of force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.” A third of those who gave that answer also said they owned a gun.

Seven percent of those surveyed said they “support force to restore Trump to the presidency.” Half of them said they owned guns.

The shooting at Mr. Trump’s rally “is a consequence of such significant support for political violence in our country,” Mr. Pape wrote in an email. “Indeed, significant lone wolf attacks motivated by political violence have been growing for years in the United States, against members of Congress from both parties as well as federal officials and national leaders.”

Other studies on political violence have also found small but not insignificant numbers of Americans who support the idea of using violence to advance political ideas.

In October, the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, published a report that found nearly 14 percent of those surveyed strongly agreed that there would be a civil war in the United States in the next few years.

Nearly 8 percent of respondents to the study said they believed there would be a situation in the next few years where political violence would be justified and were intending to arm themselves.

Alan Feuer covers extremism and political violence for The Times, focusing on the criminal cases involving the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and against former President Donald J. Trump.  More about Alan Feuer

Peru's convict ex-president Alberto Fujimori, 85, aims to run again

Alberto Fujimori, 85, who governed Peru with an iron fist for a decade and fled the country amid corruption scandals and human rights violations, plans to run for president amid a cloud of uncertainty and fractured politics.
