UK High Court Lifts Injunction Allowing Chagos Islands Deal To Go Ahead

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 22: Reform MP Richard Tice leaves the High Court following a failed bid by a group of people born on the Chagos Island to prevent Britain transferring ownership of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, on May 22, 2025 in London, England. The UK's High Court has lifted an injunction, which temporarily blocked the government's planned transfer of the Chagos Islands, a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean, to Mauritius, allowing the deal to proceed. The legal action was brought in the UK by two Chagossian women, Bernadette Dugasse and Bertrice Pompe. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
