Ramadan behind bars
- 8 years ago
About 110 Muslim Rohingyas staying in the Kanchanaburi immigration centre in Thailand observe the first day of the holy month of Ramadan.
During Ramadan Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn until dusk. Officials here help prepare halal food and provide the refugees with clean clothes.
The men at the centre illegally arrived in Thailand in January, after fleeing the bloody conflict between Buddhists and Muslims in western Burma's Arakan state in boats.
