Chagossian Cry for Sovereignty!

In the heart of London, Chagossians like Lisette Talate protest at the High Court against UK plans to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. This legal battle is deeply personal, rooted in generational trauma from forced removals in the late 1960s. A recent injunction stopped a deal that would've transferred these islands, allowing UK and US military use for nearly a century. For the Chagossians, it’s about reclaiming a homeland and self-determination stolen by history, as echoed by their supporters and case backers.
