• What demands for reparation have been made

There has recently been legal action taken against the UK government to compensate four people who were allegedly tortured during the Mau Mau Uprising (according to BBC). 

• By whom 

Leigh Day and Co are representing the victims.

• For what historical harms

During the conflict the British government may have been responsible for the deaths of up to 25,000 people in Kenya.  The British recruited an "Africa home guard" that used violence to control the population and suppress political movements.

The Society for Cultural Anthropology estimates that 150,000 Kenyans were killed, tortured or maimed during the uprising.  Many were buried in mass graves.

• In what arenas demands have been made (courts, policymaking, public protests, unclear..)

The historical wrongs are currently be reviewed by the judicial system.  In 2003 the government lifted a ban on the Mau Mau, who are now recognized as freedom fighters.

• How these demands have fared

"The UK says the claim is not valid because of the amount of time since the abuses were alleged to have happened, and that any liability rested with the Kenyan authorities after independence in 1963.

But Leigh Day & Co says the case is an "opportunity for the British government to come to terms with the past and apologise to the victims and the Kenyan people for this grave historic wrong"."  This comes from the BBC.

In 2013 the British government abandoned an appeal and issued a formal apology and an out of court settlement.    The settlement included:  "£2,600 per claimant for the 5,228"

In 2025, the became a Mau Mau memorial in Kenya.  There remains little to no accountability for soldier and officials who oversaw crimes perpetrated by the British and their collaborators.
