Indonesia: Calls to release jailed fishermen who rescued Rohingya refugees

Human rights groups are calling on the Indonesian government to release a group of fishermen who helped rescue Rohingya refugees stranded at sea, including 56 children.
The men were arrested in Aceh province and sentenced to five years in jail for people-smuggling.

Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington met them in Lhoksukon Prison in Aceh, Indonesia.
