I must remind you ... this was done in violation of the United Nations Charter by using lies; I am not mincing my words: they were lies, damn lies. By throwing people out of their land, the British government knowingly led many of the them to a certain death. No human being would treat another human being the way the British treated the Chagossian people. For a comparison we have to go back to the days of slavery. And for this, Britain received a thieves' ransom; and still they refuse to obey the court and let people go even to the outer islands.
