UK court temporarily halted Chagos Islands transfer to Mauritius before it was signed.
The UK High Court temporarily halted the transfer of sovereignty over the Chagos Islands from the UK to Mauritius just before the deal was to be signed.
The agreement would see Britain give up the Indian Ocean archipelago, including the Diego Garcia military base, and lease it back for 99 years.
The injunction was granted due to a legal challenge by two women displaced from the islands.
Despite the block, a court later cleared the way for the deal, allowing the UK to proceed with signing the agreement.
