Around 60 Sri Lankan Tamils stranded on the remote island of Diego Garcia for over three years have been brought to the UK, marking the end of their legal battles and dire living conditions.

This significant move comes amidst complexities regarding the territory’s future control, as the UK plans to cede it to Mauritius. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy defended the government’s decision amid rising costs associated with the migrants’ situation.
