More than 3,500 people attempted to flee Myanmar and Bangladesh by sea last year, nearly five times more than in 2021.

The leaky wooden vessel is just the latest to reach the shores of Aceh, as more and more refugees undertake the dangerous ocean crossings.

The International Court of Justice has drawn criticism for allowing representatives of the military junta to represent Myanmar at hearings this week.

Bangladeshi police have made nearly 40 arrests, including five in connection with last month's murder of a prominent Rohingya advocate.

The shadow government's formal pledges to offer a persecuted minority justice and rights could help shape Myanmar's future.
