Stranded Sri Lankan Tamil migrants moved from Diego Garcia to the UK for a temporary stay.

Sri Lankan Tamil migrants stranded on Diego Garcia for over three years have been moved to the UK, where they will stay for six months with financial support. Their living conditions on the island were poor, leading to hunger strikes, self-harm, and suicide attempts. The UK government described the move as a "one-off" decision due to the exceptional nature of their cases. Their long-term future in the UK remains uncertain.
