Amazing news! Huge credit to @HenrySmithUK & all Parliamentarians who have fought for this. And most of all credit to the Chagossian activists who have made this happen

Sincere thanks to Home Office Minister Kevin Foster for meeting me today. The Government have accepted what my Chagos amendment to the Nationality & Borders Bill sought to achieve - rightful British citizenship granted to exiled islanders families. We won, justice prevailed!

Britain expelled Indigenous Chagos Islanders from their homes at the height of the Cold War to make way for a US base. Now, their descendants are left in limbo ⬇️ aje.io/ddg4vs

Will Britain give citizenship rights to all Chagos islanders?

Britain expelled thousands in the late 60s to make way for a US base. Now, their descendants are left in limbo.
