@kikuyu.archives: Kenya Colonial Concentration Camps . officer in charge of rehabilitation . In 2001, former prison camp administrator, Terence Gavaghan, took part in a now notorious TV interview in which he alleged that ‘not one’ person died in his camp under his leadership. In our film, not only do eyewitness accounts from Mau Mau survivors claim Gavaghan carried out multiple abuses, but we highlight new documents that suggest he knew at the time he was involved in the active torturing of prisoners, which sometimes led to their death. The British policy of torture reaches its endgame in the Hola massacre – an atrocity in which 11 detainees were beaten to death in the Hola prison camp. While a contemporary inquiry suggested the atrocity was a one-off, we show that instead it was the inevitable consequence of a deliberate policy of legalised violence. In 2013, then Foreign Secretary, William Hague, expressed regret that ‘Kenyans were subject to torture’, yet insisted the liability must lie solely with the ‘colonial administration’, not the British government itself. Yet we reveal how former Colonial Secretary, Alan Lennox-Boyd (who reported directly to Cabinet), had oversight of the ‘Governor’s Complaints Committee’ – a shadowy body in the Kenyan administration that the film shows was one of the chief mechanisms for suppressing allegations of torture.#fypシ゚viral #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 #nairobitiktokers #kikuyuisbae #kenyantiktok
