Compensation for Kenyans tortured by British forces in 1950s
Kenyans tortured by British colonial forces during the Mau Mau uprising will receive payouts totalling £20m, Foreign Secretary William Hague has announced.
More than 5,000 Kenyans say they were mistreated by the then-British administration.
On Thursday, the government expressed "sincere regret" and announced compensation for some of those who took part in the Mau Mau rebellion.
