An attempt by three elderly Kenyans to win damages from the Government over alleged colonial atrocities during the Mau Mau uprising returns to court on Monday.

A year ago, they won a &quot;historic&quot; ruling which took them one step nearer to achieving their goal when Mr Justice McCombe said they had &quot;arguable cases in law&quot;.

The fresh hearing at London's High Court will focus on the Government's argument that the claims cannot proceed because they have been brought outside the legal time limit - but lawyers for the Kenyans will argue that it is an exceptional case in which the judge should exercise his discretion in their favour.

During the two-week hearing, the court will consider evidence about events in detention camps during the 1950s from Jane Muthoni Mara, Paulo Muoka Nzili and Wambuga Wa Nyingi.

The court has heard that Mr Nzili was castrated, Mr Nyingi beaten unconscious in an incident in which 11 men were clubbed to death, and Mrs Mara was subjected to appalling sexual abuse.

Funny enough last week I discovered that the British Behaviour in Kenya was first brought to the public attention by of all people Enoch Powell, in a speech in parliment. Using Westminster priviledge.....

But jah yout, I am almost never an advocate for violence; but &quot;desperate times call for desperate measures&quot;. The climate for native Africans in Kenya was one of desperation and degredation.
