| The '''British Indian Ocean Territory''' ('''BIOT''') refers to British possession over the '''Chagos Archipelago''', a series of (now) uninhabited atolls with next to no land area. These islands are primarily military bases, especially '''Diego Garcia'''. All inhabitants of Diego Garcia were rounded up and expelled to foreign states in 1971, so that the [[UnitedStates/ArmedForces|United States]] could construct a joint military base. Since 2021, small groups of refugees have become marooned on Diego Garcia. They are not recognized as having landed on British soil, so cannot request asylum. An unspecified number remain on the island in a concentration camp as stateless refugees. |
