A boat carrying migrants to Australia sank off the Indonesian coast killing at least 22 people, Indonesian police said, a sign that Australia's tough new immigration rules may not be enough to deter would-be asylum seekers.
It happened off the southern coast of Java about 190 km south of Jakarta.
Video showed authorities and residents moving recovered bodies, including those of children, to a makeshift morgue.
Officials say the passengers were from the Middle East and were heading to Christmas Island, a frequent destination for refugee boats from Indonesia and a favoured route for people-smugglers.
This latest disaster will cast a shadow over a visit to Jakarta on Monday by Australia's new conservative Prime Minister Tony Abbott, whose tough stance on immigration was at the heart of his election campaign.
