Over 200 Rohingya refugees landed on a remote Indonesian island after weeks at sea, facing rejection from locals who threatened to send them back. The refugees were part of a larger group of over 1,000 Rohingya who have arrived in Aceh province, risking their lives to reach Malaysia or Indonesia from Bangladesh.
