The UK government’s decision to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius has caused outrage from some and disbelief from others.

The islands, often referred to as the British Indian Ocean Territory, have been the source of controversy for nearly sixty years .

The failure to restore the islands to the Chagossian people, illegally removed by our government in the 1960s and 70s is frankly shaming.
