Kenya,King Charles,Colonial Abuses

The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has demanded an unequivocal public apology from King Charles for the colonial abuses committed by British soldiers during the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya. The KHRC urges the king to issue a sincere apology for the brutal treatment inflicted on Kenyan citizens.

KING Charles has been asked for an “unequivocal public apology” for colonial abuses from the Kenya Human Rights Commission during his visit to the country this week., British soldiers forced 1.5 million Kenyans into concentration camps for their suspected involvement in the anti-colonial Mau Mau uprising – where they faced torture, rape and violence.

“His Majesty will take time during the visit to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by the people of Kenya.” In 2013, the British Government made a historic statement of regret over the “torture and other forms of ill-treatment” perpetrated by the colonial administration during Kenya’s Emergency period of 1952-1960, and paid out £19.9 million to around 5,200 Kenyans for human rights abuses.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
