Mau Mau uprising: Kenyans win UK torture ruling

British soldiers are seen here checking the identification of Kenyan men suspected of being involved in the Mau Mau uprising

London's High Court ruled the case should proceed despite the time elapsed since the Mau Mau uprising in the 50s.

The ruling means the case will now go to a full trial. Lawyers for the three hailed it as a "historic" judgement.

The government had already accepted its forces tortured detainees and said it was "disappointed" with the decision.
