The asylum seeker who was taken into custody by Indonesian Police when he accompanied fellow asylum seekers to a local hospital in Merak for treatment has now been transferred to a Jakarta prison.
The asylum seekers were receiving medical treatment following the death of George Jacob Samuel Christin on Christmas Eve.
Four others were arrested on Tuesday 15 December when they left the boat to seek medical treatment and other essential supplies.
Refugee advocates are concerned for their welfare and precarious legal position.
