Boat interception on 17 Nov 2014 at Yap, FSM

Resumen de los hechos

This case involves the smuggling 35 Indian and Nepalese migrants who were smuggled by boat from Indonesia. They left Indonesia, together with two Indonesian crew, on 10 November 2014 and were apprehended near the island of Yap in Micronesia one week later on 17 November 2014. Some of the migrants believed they would be taken to Australia, while others believed that New Zealand or the United States were the intended destination of this venture.

The captain of the vessels reportedly had been paid the equivalent of AUD 1,500 to transport the smuggled migrants from Indonesia to Yap.
