Stranded Migrants Endure Hellish Conditions on Diego Garcia Island

Dozens of Sri Lankan Tamils who were rescued from their struggling fishing boat have been stranded on the British territory of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean for 20 months, with some attempting suicide due to their dire situation. The migrants, who claim to be fleeing persecution, are desperate to leave for a safe place, but the unusual legal status of the island has left them feeling frightened and helpless. The UK government has said it will not take in any of the Diego Garcia asylum seekers whose claims are approved, according to lawyers.
