I’ve written before about the plight of the Chagos Islanders who were forcibly expelled from their homes by the British government. The latest development in their campaign for justice is the publication of a report that sets out a practical plan for how they could return.

See the New Statesman and The Guardian for more details.

Liberal Democrat peer Lord Avebury is quoted in the New Statesman article saying;

“The removal of the Chagossians from their homeland was a gross violation of the law…..It was an operation that has no parallel in modern history.”
