Britain grants Tamil asylum seekers rescued at sea ‘safe-country’ move
Two people, from group rescued by Royal Navy and held on Diego Garcia, made offer while receiving medical attention in Rwanda
Two Tamil asylum seekers receiving medical treatment in Rwanda after being rescued from the Indian Ocean by the Royal Navy will be taken to a safe third country, a British commissioner has ruled.
The man and a woman, both aged 22, are among dozens of Tamil refugees, including alleged torture victims, who were stranded on the island of Diego Garcia in October 2021. They had been travelling in a boat hoping to reach safety in Canada but had to be escorted to the island by the Royal Navy after problems with their boat.
