which is very important and issued by the united states. i think in the next mo or so they want to show they are doing something about human trafficking. but it is, in turn, as you say causing a humanitarian crisis right across the region. we have these dramatic looking pictures of helicopters dropping food parcels to the people on the boat can swim out and get and food. get some fuel. but the fact is, that they are not being allowed to land anywhere. the people on this boat spoke of immense depravation. they speak of not being able to eat properly. not being able to -- being crammed in short spaces. and it is not as if this is a surprise. people who research this irregular movement of people throughout the region from the bay of bengal, down to sea and the ma lack have been warning thousands

out of myanmar after soldiers arrested their mother. >> everyone was crying and praying to find any stretch of land and god heard our prays. >> reporter: the lands they found was indonesia. they survived the journey but their tears are still flowing. many are suffering from illnesses, and they are very worried about those they have left behind. and those still out there at sea sea. >> translator: please can someone in the world give us our human rights. our families are still in myanmar and we have no information about them. we are very worried. >> reporter: the asylum seekers seekers tell us they they left with seven boats, one had to be towed after it ran out of fuel. the u.n. says they are thousands of refugees facing dire conditions at sea. they are totally exhausted and many are ill. but they are happy to be alive. these row mean ga row thing ga made

before the coup, even before the protests there were allegations of intimidation of people against people who didn't support the president's bid for a third run for a third term in june's election. people who were against it say they have been threatened. 60,000 -- 50 or 60,000 people have fled burundi to neighboring countries, some saying that they have been threatened because of their political affiliations because of their ethnicity. the ruling party and its supporters denied any of these -- they made any of these threats, but certainly seems that there is a problem here and the activists and people in opposition who have been involved in organizing protests in recent weeks are worried that they could get a very bad or punitive reaction from the government as it comes back to power after the attempted coup. >> malcolm webb talking about burundi and the fact that the president is back, thanks,
