Yao Hui Charles Yeo

Yao Hui Charles Yeo, a persecuted human rights defender who fled Singapore to ask for asylum in the UK, says he would rather live or die on the streets, than live in the barge in isolated Portland where one of the people sent there has already committed suicide.

The barge's official name is Bibby Stockholm, but Hostile Environment might be a more fitting name. It is not exactly a prison, and the people made to live there can leave when they wish, but they have to go through an airport-style search plus a body search each time.

They also say that there is not enough food at meals for all of them.
