Local campaigners have held a service remembering a man who died on the Bibby Stockholm barge one year ago.
The volunteers with the Portland Global Friendship Group gathered in Castletown, Portland to hold a service for Leonard Farruku, an asylum seeker who was found unresponsive aboard the accommodation vessel at Portland Port, Dorset, on December 12, 2023.
The Portland Global Friendship Group was formed to offer friendship and support to people seeking asylum. A spokesperson said: "Today marks one year since the death by suicide of Leonard Farruku, taken to live on the Bibby Stockholm Barge against his will.
"Community Volunteers from Portland Global Friendship Group gathered to remember him today and shared their thoughts. We also walked to the port to let them know why we had gathered today.
"So, so very sad."
Following his death, a fundraiser was started by his family to raise funds so they could repatriate his body. The fundraiser raised well over its target of £10,000.
