Sri Lankan refugees look out from the Australian coast guard vessel Oceanic Viking anchored near Bengkil Island, about 14km (8.2 miles) east of Tanjung Pinang and the port of Kijang on the Indonesian island of Bintan, October 28, 2009. Australia insisted on Wednesday that 78 Sri Lankan asylum seekers rescued by one of its customs ships would not be brought to Australia, despite media reports that Indonesian officials had refused to accept the boat people.
