Mau Mau uprising and concentration camps
In Kenya, the Mau Mau was a major nationalist revolutionary movement that originally sought to reclaim land that the British settlers had taken away from them in the 1950s. The group would eventually contribute to Kenya’s independence. The Mau Mau uprising had begun in 1952 when a group of locals, mainly members of the Kikuyu tribe, organized resistance, which led to the killing of white settlers. The British declared a state of emergency following violent clashes that ensued between the white settlers and locals. During the Mau Mau revolt, a lot of atrocities were reported, including murder, torture, slavery and unlawful detention. The British established about twenty-one big concentration camps and other smaller ones, where the locals, including Mau Mau suspects, were imprisoned and tortured. The infamous Hola massacre is one of these instances where eleven people were clubbed to death and a greater number suffered permanent injury, according to an article by the Medium. People were beaten and forced to work in the camps while bottles were pushed into the anus and vaginas of people.
