Exile of Chagossians from Diego Garcia

Wikipedia has an article on this topic at: Depopulation of Chagossians from the Chagos Archipelago.

Between 1968 and 1973, the native inhabitants of the island of Diego Garcia, known as Chagossians, were forcibly expelled by the United States and the United Kingdom so that the United States could build Camp Justice. Over 1000 people were expelled. The Chagossians' pets were killed by gassing. The Chagossians were exiled to the island of Mauritius. To this day they live in extreme poverty and destitution as a result of the exiling from their homeland. Attempts by activists and journalists at obtaining justice for the Chagossians have all failed.
