After years of uncertainty, around 60 Sri Lankan Tamils stranded on the remote island of Diego Garcia may soon be relocated to the UK. The UK government, reversing previous opposition, has proposed a policy change allowing families and children to move, while individuals without criminal issues may also be included. The decision follows years of legal disputes and concerns over the inhumane conditions faced by the migrants. Government officials cited ‘exceptional circumstances’ as a basis for the new approach, with further details expected soon.
