The judgement at the High Court came after a two-week hearing in July on allegations that Jane Muthoni Mara, Paulo Muoka Nzili and Wambugu Wa Nyingi were subjected to torture and sexual mutilation during the Mau Mau uprising against British rule in Kenya during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Supporters of the Kenyans wept when they heard the judgement, although the claimants themselves were not in court. Their lawyer Martyn Day hailed the ruling. "This is a historic judgement today which will have repercussions for years to come. Our three clients are delighted, it's a great shame they're not with us today".
