Quote:
Three elderly Kenyans who claim they were tortured and sexually abused at the hands of their British colonial rulers during the 1950s Mau Mau uprising was on Friday given the green light to sue Britain.
The British government immediately said it would appeal the High Court judgment.
The court had heard allegations in July that Paulo Muoka Nzili, Wambugu Wa Nyingi and Jane Muthoni Mara were subjected to torture and sexual mutilation.
The trio’s lawyers said Nzili was castrated, Nyingi severely beaten and Mara subjected to appalling sexual abuse in detention camps during the Mau Mau rebellion.
Nyingi was caught up in beatings that led to the deaths of 11 men at the Hola camp in 1959, an incident now known as the “Hola Massacre”.

This is interesting. I wonder if it opens up a "world" of other suits.
