Yes I heard about this on a radio program recently. My forgettery was working overtime, but I was sure though that they were interviewing not just people from Mauritius but islanders who lived in Britain as well. I looked it up and found it on the web, it was a BBC program broadcast by our News Radio and also NPR in America I think, on 25th June. There is a town in England called Crawley in West Sussex where 2,000 of them live together. They too want to go back, but many can't afford it.
Here is a BBC podcast of the story.
Here's another interesting URL - The Provisional Peoples' Democratic Republic of Diego Garcia
And another news story about the visit by Mauritian Chagossians and the protest by those living in Britain that they were not invited too.
