Three refugee advocates, two Australians and a Canadian, have been detained by Indonesian police for visiting a group of Tamil asylum seekers locked in a stand-off with the Indonesian Government.

More than 240 Sri Lankan asylum seekers have spent more than three months on their rickety cargo boat at the port of Merak, in Java's west.

Intercepted by Indonesia at Australia's request in October, the Tamils do not want to come ashore because they fear they will be forced to wait years for resettlement.

Refugee advocates believe Australia should offer them a rapid resettlement deal such as the one it used to coax 78 Tamils off the Oceanic Viking last year.
