Remember when President Obama made a comment about how Winston Churchill stood against torture and now we should too? Well there is new news on the issue surfacing in, of all places, Kenya. Kenya's THE STANDARD publication, courtesy of a link at the POLITICO: The British Government will on June 23 be issued with a claim for torturing Kenyans for a decade. A representative of Leigh, Day law firm, Mr Dan Leader was in Nairobi Sunday and addressed a news conference attended by lawyer Paul Muite, Mr George Morara of the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and Mau Mau War Veterans Association members led by chairman Gitu Kahengeri. Detailing how the British Government perpetrated atrocities against Kenyans between 1950 and 1960, the leader of the London-based law firm said he had been instructed by the KHRC to issue a claim for compensation against the British government on behalf of the Mau Mau War veterans. Mr Morara says the commission has documented 40 cases of castration, sexual abuses and unlawful detention carried out by officers of the British government. In recent years, following exhaustive research, it has become clear the torture and inhuman treatment of Kenyans during the emergency period were a result of policies sanctioned from the highest levels of government in London. This is not a joke! War veterans are actually SUING Great Britain for torturing them? Oops! And the President of the United States used great Britain as his example of a "torture free" nation? Oops! Maybe not the best example to prove your point against torture. |
