The UK’s previous Conservative government hired the controversial barge Bibby Stockholm to house more than 400 asylum seekers. The new Labour government will close it down – but has pledged to deport thousands more migrants and people who fail asylum applications.

00:00Life in BB Stockholm Baj is just really bad. It's not that good.
00:05There is a few good things about it, like the people that are working there and they use their time to keep us safe and healthy.
00:16But there are so many bad things about it because we don't have that good food that we like to eat.
00:23We don't have so many activities. We are in small rooms. Our home is on water actually.
00:30So it's really difficult to be in there and it feels just like a prison to us.
00:35And when you are living in prison, you are depressed, you have anxieties, you have panic attacks and mental health problems.
00:44These are the real problems that are happening in BB Stockholm Baj and there is no solution for it.
00:52I've been on the Baj for more than three months and now I have got my interview date.
00:59So after that and after I got accepted as an asylum seeker and a refugee, I can live as a human in a safe country.
01:10The riots that happened in the UK just make asylum seekers feel unsafe and we are afraid.
01:19We are really afraid of what will happen to us.
01:22Yes, they can easily send them back. They are going to put them in an airplane and they are going to send them back.
01:28But it's going to start a big suicide for them because when they arrive to their country,
01:35their government are going to arrest them and who knows what they are going to do to them.
