In this Monday, May 11, 2015, photo 16-year-old Sadik Hussein, left, and 17-year-old Noor Alam, hours after returning to their homes in Thetkabyin Village, north of Sittwe, western Rakhine state, Myanmar. They say they escaped from a human trafficking boat, where they sat for days with their knees bent into their chest, pressed up against other sweaty bodies in the cabin’s rancid heat. They say members of the crew paced back and forth with iron rods and belts, hitting anyone who dared speak or even vomit from the nauseating stench and rolling waves.
