The ongoing struggle of the Chagos Islands
The Chagos Islands' international status leaves thousands of displaced individuals and asylum seekers stranded. For over 50 years, the archipelago's indigenous inhabitants have waged a battle to return home, having been evicted after the US built a military base on Diego Garcia Island. Meanwhile, hundreds of asylum seekers, languish in the British Indian Ocean Territory, enduring conditions that even the Foreign Office admits are unsuitable. Guests: Jacob Goldberg Investigative Reporter at The New Humanitarian Frankie Bontemps Spokesperson of Chagossian Voices David Campbell Bannerman Chairperson of The Freedom Association Clive Baldwin Senior Legal Adviser at Human Rights Watch
