Kenyans seeking compensation from the UK at the European Court of Human Rights.
A group of Kenyans who are victims of British colonialist policies filed a complaint against England at the European Court of Human Rights.
A number of Kenyan citizens filed a complaint against England at the European Court of Human Rights regarding the abuses committed against them by the British colonialists in the past and forced them out of their lands.
The group’s lawyer, Joel Kimutai Bosk, told the media that England has avoided addressing this issue (colonial abuses) for years whenever it was raised, and that is why these Kenyans have gone to court to file a lawsuit.
The crimes that are the basis of these accusations against the British occurred during the colonial era, including the forced expulsion of Kenyans from their ancestral lands.
Bosk, who is representing Kenya’s Talai and Kipsigis ethnic groups, said in a statement to the media that the British government had “avoided every possible means of compensation” and forced the group to go to court. slow
The number of victims belonging to the “Talai” and “Kipsigis” tribes located in the Kiricho region of Kenya, who suffered from the actions of the British colonialists, is more than 100,000 people. They were pushed out of their ancestral lands around the Kiricho area in the early 20th century.
In 2019, they organized and submitted online petitions to the United Nations, demanding an apology and reparations for the colonialists’ crimes against them.
