Human rights groups are calling on the Indonesian government to release a group of fishermen who helped rescue Rohingya refugees stranded at sea, including 56 children.

The men were arrested in Aceh province and sentenced to five years in jail for people smuggling.

Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington met them in Lhoksukon prison in Aceh.
