Kenya has demanded an apology from the UK for alleged atrocities committed
against Mau Mau fighters seeking independence in the 1950s.
Justice Minister Kiraitu Murungi said it was the honourable thing to do to
formally apologise for "barbaric crimes against humanity".
War veterans are preparing to sue Britain for compensation, claiming they
were tortured in detention.
Official estimates say 11,000 Mau Mau were killed by British forces.
The minister made the comments at the launch of the book Caroline Elkins'
Britain's Gulag: The Brutal End of Empire, which details the crackdown of
the rebellion and the Kikuyu community.
Ms Elkins, who is a professor at Harvard University, disputes the official
death toll saying many more died in the conflict.
"I now believe there was in late colonial Kenya a murderous campaign to
eliminate Kikuyu people that left tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of
thousands dead," she writes in the book.
"I call upon the government of the United Kingdom, as a civilised nation to
do the honourable thing and issue a formal apology to the Mau Mau, their
families and the people of Kenya for these barbaric crimes against
humanity," Mr Murungi said.
British servicemen who suffered atrocities at the hands of the Japanese
during the Second World War were compensated, he said.
  It's only that way that we can say that our humanity is recognised
Lawyer Paul Muite
"We do not believe it would be too much to ask the UK government to extend
the same principle to the Mau Mau war veterans and their families."
A spokesman from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office said the UK
government understood the issue still created strong feelings in Kenya and
that the hardships during the emergency had caused pain on both sides and
marred the progress towards independence.
"But this took place 50 years ago. Kenya needs to look to future challenges
like fighting corruption, fighting injustice and building a strong
democracy," he told the BBC News website.
Relations between the UK and Kenya have recently been strained after the UK
High Commission to Nairobi accused the Kenyan government of massive
corruption.
Doing wrong
Vice President Moody Awori, also at the function, said the British campaign
was "cruel and pitiless".
"The fact that colonialists put so much effort to conceal their actions
means they knew what they were doing was wrong," he said.
The allegations in the book include rape, torture, murder and theft of
property.
"We want the British government to acknowledge their wrongdoing and say
sorry," Paul Muite, one of a group of lawyers preparing to sue Britain for
compensation on behalf of former Mau Mau fighters, told AFP news agency.
"It's only that way that we can say that our humanity is recognised."

MEDIA ALERT
On February 13, The World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI), an international peoples'
initiative, declared much of the Western media guilty of deception and
incitement to violence in its reporting on Iraq. The tribunal, meeting in
Rome, made its pronouncement after taking testimony from independent
journalists, media professors, activists, and a member of the European
Parliament.
The panel of WTI judges noted that the United States and British governments
had deliberately impeded the work of journalists and knowingly spread lies
and disinformation. But the panel also accused the Western corporate media
of filtering and suppressing the truth.
The tribunal described how
journalists had violated article six of the Nuremberg Tribunal which states:
Leaders, organisers, instigators and accomplices participating in the
formulation or execution of a common plan or conspiracy to commit any of the
foregoing crimes (crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against
humanity) are responsible

Poche idee e anche confuse.
Guarda ai fatti, al fallito golpe in Guinea Equatoriale, ai precedenti.
