This is a message received from the boat:
We are the 250 asylum seekers who are in desparate need of your protection. Our boat was surrounded by 20-25 small navy raft boat with men in dark camouflage and with three weapons drawn, they came at around 2:00 am. They came close to our boat and tried to put something on our boat which we manged to push off. We could not identify the race as they had their faces painted.

 All we could see was the 25 raft boat identical to each other with white lettering on the side. Please zoom in the attachment as it was taken by a mobile phone. You can see one of the boats and see the camouflage as well.

Note  - 109 of those on board were recognised refugees by the UNHCR prior to them boarding the boat.
