00:00Mr. A, Mr. A.
00:30They are not telling us that if we are human beings, we have rights.
00:38We are British citizens, yet our right doesn't count.
00:43We don't want to give our rights, hand over our rights to Mauritius.
00:47We are not Mauritians, and I don't think we'll get any...
00:53The rights we're asking for now, we've been fighting for for 60 years, Mauritius is not
00:58going to give that to us. So we need to keep fighting with the British government to listen
01:04to us.
01:05Well, I think British justice, they take care of who they want, when they want. They
01:20haven't been able to rectify the wrongs they have done to us, the Chagoshen, for 60 years.
01:27They still want to give deaf ears to our cries and we're not giving up.
01:42This is still ongoing in relation to this case. The treaty will move into the political sphere
01:48but it's up to politicians to decide whether they really support this or not.
01:57We are here to support two Chagoshen who are actually in the court. And to stop this madness.
02:04So what I would say to Keir Starmer, I've been in this country for 23 years and when I came
02:11here, I joined the army, the British army. To be British as the Chagoshen runs deep in
02:18all of us. I would say to Keir Starmer, stop that deal. That deal don't benefit the people
02:25of the Chagoshen. And that deal will never, never benefit us.
02:32And when we arrived in the UK, the Prime is going to support the British people. And as I...
02:39I'm hoping, I'm hopeful that...
02:41I hope that they scrap that deal and cancel it and we don't talk about it as we are British
02:48citizens and the country. And the country, Chagos Island, is for UK sovereignty. It stops this
02:55madness. Mauritius, Chagos, don't belong to Mauritius.
03:00We are of the British people.
03:30Our country is president. We need to return to the island because we belong to this island.
03:49You look at all the overseas territories, they've been given the right to self-determination.
03:52They've been given the voting rights to remain part of the UK. What Chagosians haven't had
03:57is the right to self-determination. The right not to be able to say anything. You know,
04:02they were only just given British citizenship only a few years ago. They've been in the
04:06UK for over 50 years now. What's been going on here? And, you know, they should be awarded
04:11the right to self-determination, along with all the overseas territories. They should be given
04:15that right.
