Tamil asylum seekers moored at Merak in Indonesia have been denied a request to see a priest on board the boat, following the death of their friend, George Jacob Samuel Christin. The 29 year old man died on Christmas Eve as a result of poor health on the boat.
They have asked for a Catholic priest, as Christin was a Catholic, to conduct funeral and mourning services to ensure spiritual peace for the departed. They were not allowed to have any Christmas celebrations and are requesting the guidance of a Priest to help console them. This request has been denied by Indonesian authorities.
