Bertrice Pompe, a British national born in the Chagos Islands, has expressed her fury at the UK Government’s deal to transfer sovereignty of the archipelago to Mauritius, while vowing to continue fighting against the agreement.
The deal, signed on Thursday after a judge overturned a last-minute injunction brought by Pompe herself, has sparked outrage among the Chagossian community who claim they were not consulted during negotiations.
