Three elderly Kenyans who claim they were victims of torture and sexual abuse at the hands of British colonial rulers during the Mau Mau uprising in the 1950s were on Friday given the right to sue Britain.
The judgement came after a two-week hearing in July heard allegations that Jane Muthoni Mara, Paulo Muoka Nzili and Wambugu Wa Nyingi were subjected to torture and sexual mutilation, AFP reports.
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. Awon Oyinbo yii shaa.
