Help the Chagos Islanders in their fight to return home.
The Chagos Islanders were cruelly exiled from their beautiful homelands where they'd lived in peace & tranquility for over 200 years and left discarded in absolute poverty. Many of their number have since died of an affliction known as "sadness" amongst the refugees. It is an outrage that that despite a UK High Court ruling the Chagosians are still unable to return home after the UK government (under Tony Blair) persuaded the Queen to overrule the High Court by decree - an ancient right of the Monarch.
These innocent & beautiful people need our full support - please sign the petition and take 56mins of your time to watch: 'Stealing a Nation' by John Pilger; http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3667764379758632511#
We the undersigned do solemnly request that the UK & USA governments make haste in allowing the Chagossian people a speedy return to their homelands on the basis that their exile was and remains an illegal act and which directly contravenes UN codes for human rights; the Chagos Islands are stolen property.
