Three Kenyans Can Proceed With Case Against UK Government
Three Kenyans who were tortured by British colonial authorities can proceed with their legal claims against the UK government, a court has ruled.
London's High Court ruled the case, relating to the 1950s Mau Mau uprising, could proceed despite the time elapsed.
The ruling means the case will now go to a full trial. Lawyers for the three hailed it as a "historic" judgement.
While the government accepts UK forces tortured detainees it denies liability and will appeal against the decision.
