The Friends of the British Overseas Territories (FOTBOT) are rallying in support of the Chagossian community against the UK Government’s rotten deal with Mauritius over the sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT)/Chagos Islands. This is more than just a territorial dispute—this is about justice, identity, and the rights of a people who have already endured too much.

The UK’s agreement to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius disregards the rights of the Chagossian people and undermines our national security.

Our Chagos campaign has significantly ramped up, and we are taking the fight directly to policymakers, the public, and the media. As we head into 2025, we will not slow down - this is a critical moment to step up and make an impact.

No matter the amount, your donation makes a real difference in helping us challenge this betrayal and support the Chagossian people in their fight for justice. Together, we can stop this deal and ensure the future of the Chagos Islands remains where it belongs.

Your donation will go a long way in funding all elements of our campaign, including our ability to host future events, engage in outreach, and work on projects associated with the campaign. So far, FOTBOT has been pivotal in raising awareness and hosting campaign events, and we need this momentum to continue as we continue to add pressure onto the UK Government further.
