Sri Linka Navy Rescues 32 Myanmar asylum seekers
Sri Lanka's navy has rescued 32 asylum seekers from Myanmar whose wooden vessel began sinking while making a perilous journey to Australia.
A navy statement says the rescue was made about 250 nautical miles off the island's eastern coast on Saturday.
Those rescued are being treated for acute dehydration.
The group comprising 31 adult males and a boy had been at sea without food for 21 days when the navy rescued them after being informed by a local fishing boat.
