An elite Iranian cyclist, who claimed asylum in the UK after last year’s Glasgow World Championships, says the Bibby Stockholm barge would destroy his mental health and wellbeing if he is forced to Portland, Dorset by the Home Office.
Mohammad Ganjkhanlou told Cycling Weekly that his mind would be "broken" if he was forced to move to the barge housing asylum seekers, which Amnesty International called an "utterly shameful way to house people who’ve fled terror, conflict and persecution".
