The Chagossian community must be included in any negotiations about the future of the island, said the chairperson of the Seychelles Chagossian Committee after discussions with the Human Rights Watch (HRW).
Pierre Prosper told SNA on Friday that Seychelles was represented in discussions that led to the report.
The Human Rights Watch report comes as the United Nation's highest court, the International Court of Justice, has ruled that Britain's continued occupation of the archipelago is illegal. As a result, Britain is coming under increasing international pressure for maintaining what it calls British Indian Ocean Territory .
BBC said that the"Human Rights Watch called for Britain to pay reparations to Chagossians and allow them to return to the islands, from which more than 1,000 people were forced to leave in the 1960s and 1970s."
