Kenya torture claims ruling due
Three victims of torture during the Mau Mau uprising will learn today whether their compensation claims against the British Government can proceed.
Kenyans take on Government over alleged torture
Three Kenyans who claim they were tortured by British colonial authorities during the Mau Mau uprising in the 1950s will make their case for damages at the High Court today.
Hundreds of Kenyans have made similar claims, but these three are the only ones to be told they have a chance of winning. Their case rests in part on an archive of 8,000 secret filed that were spirited out of the country when Kenya gained its independence in 1963.
The British Government is expected to argue that the claims are time-barred and that the window of opportunity is shut.
