Nearly 100 Rohingya asylum seekers stranded off the coast of Indonesia were pulled to shore Thursday by locals angered at the refusal of authorities to give them shelter over coronavirus fears.
.
Some 94 people from the persecuted Myanmar minority -- including 30 children -- were reportedly plucked from a rickety wooden boat by fishermen this week before being intercepted by maritime officials from Sumatra island who pulled them closer to shore.
.
But officials in Lhokseumawe city on Sumatra's northern coast refused to allow the group to land, citing coronavirus concerns.

Angry locals took matters into their own hands Thursday by jumping into boats Thursday which they used to pull the asylum seekers to shore.

Residents gathered on a local beach cheered the move, according to an AFP reporter on the scene.
