11:31 am
i thought we brits were the good guys and we were fighting the bad guys , but later i realized that whenever our resources were compromised, we were willing to do anything , anything you can imagine, that's the way we took it. the mao mau rebellion was a movement that
11:32 am
occurred in kenya in the 1950s. this movement was one of the most violent conflicts in the british empire. mao's goal was to reclaim the land of africa from the colonialists. you know, in fact, both sides had very violent actions. but usually the harsh actions of the colonialists are neglected by historians done the british may claim that they do not torture anyone, but we say that many people were tortured by them. for the first time, the publication of documents showed us what is happening and why these events happened and how did britain justify its actions? these documents show who is really uncivilized. when the british
11:33 am
decided to leave kenya in 1963 , they took more than 1,500 government files with them, all of which were labeled top secret. for the next 40 to 50 years , they hid these documents in a place called henslop park, which belongs to the british government communications headquarters. they were using it and this place
11:34 am
11:35 am
had a square of land and their life was very prosperous because some native people worked for them. britain became greedy and wanted more land. until 1950, white immigrants had 30,000 square kilometers of fertile land. more than 100 thousand kenyans were forced to settle in the surrounding barren lands. they set our salary without negotiation. if
11:36 am
you protested, the white skin would throw you in jail. if a white immigrant. he did not say that you had committed a great crime and could have done so i told myself that i should put you in prison for this reason . i said that this situation should not continue. yes, i should join those who are fighting for the freedom of our country, if something happens. peace cannot be won , it can be won by fighting. in nairobi, the capital of kenya, europeans and africans took to the streets in fear of mau. the actions of this monstrous group have spread fear over kenya.
11:37 am
they were considered from the lower class of african society. well, we initially
11:38 am
targeted families of white immigrants. there were very heartbreaking cases of children dying in their beds. cases from rape and killing of women, but in all these violent cases, only 32 white civilians were killed. meanwhile, the british media exaggerate the violence of this group, both during the colonial period and now , but do not talk about the violence of the british imperial forces. the human rights commission of kenya believes that the number of people who were executed, tortured or maimed during the suppression of the maumee uprising reached 90,000 people, and 160,000 people were imprisoned in very terrible conditions. britain reached out to all groups to counter maho.
11:39 am
he tricked everyone he could with money, bribes and greed to fight with us. the british realized that the only way to stop this movement and maintain their rule over kenya was to declare a state of emergency in october 1952, so that by an executive order, people were transferred to detention camps. in these camps, it should be said that a group of fighters and the innocent people were all together in one place. or he saw this issue as a battle between good and evil. but the recent revelations, along with reliable research, show that britain's actions are violent and inhumane, and that britain is trying in fact, he tried to hide the evidence of his actions and did not let anyone find out. every hour
11:40 am
, trucks carrying fully armed men arrive. all cities are reviewed to identify members and to re-establish peace on this british pension, kenya. propaganda was one of the most important british tools to deal with the mao group, the word used to describe the mao.
11:41 am
i didn't know, that's why they attacked me with their guns and beat me. i told them that even if they kill me, i have nothing to say because i have no idea about the whereabouts of the soldiers. the british broke my leg. the african guards were also with them and they helped me and my sister who was with me
11:42 am
. at some point of that time, an english officer was sent to investigate these things a person named jung observed the signs of serious human rights violations in his research.
11:43 am
this issue can be proven with the documents that are placed on his desk. the colonial government had formed a committee to deal with the complaints about the behavior. but this committee is completely based on their own personal opinions of the case they rejected them and even covered them up . the evidence of the suppression of cases is sent directly to the minister of pensions in london, the minister of pensions also informs the government board about the issue, and it can be assumed that the cabinet had information about these events at the time. not that they are completely unaware that the minister of pensions
11:44 am
is a representative of the queen's government. i do not understand how the british government can be separated from its puppet government in kenya. both of them are completely the same. that means they were in the same bowl together. denying responsibility of the british government is just a deception and hypocrisy. a hypocrite in their opinion, people kenyans are not people who have human rights and deserve to have their human rights protected. by 1956, only a thousand of our members remained. their leaders were arrested and peace was temporarily restored to this african jungle. in the middle of 50 ad, the military war against us was almost won. england's unprecedented violence in suppressing the rebellion against the colonial government. as a result, thousands of people were killed and tens of thousands of others
11:45 am
were engaged in forced labor and unemployment in the camps under the supervision of the british forces. the problem of the colonial government was that until then tens of thousands of kenyans were killed he kept camps that were supposed to be the place of people who are suspected of being a member of this group or who did not return to us because of their loyalty. well, it should be said that by 1955 there were more than 80 thousand people all over kenya.
11:46 am
and forcing them to confess one by one and using the people who confess to break the resistance of the others. both the europeans and the africans, who ate their rations, played a role in these tortures. they were doing and beating. they make us completely naked before putting them in the cells.
11:47 am
completely naked the guards separated me from the rest of the group they beat me so much that i couldn't walk anymore because of their beatings. i still worry and suffer when i remember . my eyesight is weak because of the pain and my back is injured. my finger was cut off with a broken bottle. they shave us and scratch our heads and torture us like this. ember would hold their hands and if the person did not confess , they would be manipulated and take his money. those africans
11:48 am
from britain. the leader of the soldiers was a white man. we saw that white man a lot every day. that day, we were seeing one of the key people of the torture technique, a person named terence gavagan, he was one of the colonial officials and the big officials of camp moya, he was really a terrible killer.
11:49 am
do you also feel guilty, not at all, did someone die under your hand? no, not even one out of 20,000 people died. it's as if he doesn't talk about humanity. this interview shows you how they trivialize our pain and suffering. how dare he say that no one was hurt
11:50 am
. how can you hit someone with a weapon and then deny it ? how can such a thing happen? it may not be possible at all , he was lying when he did this interview he knew what he did. well, it must be said that until now the story has been narrated by men and women who talked about gavagan, but now with the publication of these documents, it can be proven that this person is doing things that he denies and is guilty , definitely guilty. the documents that, in my opinion , reveal the worst practices in the camp under the supervision of gavagan are the case of an individual named samitu samuel gito , an example of an african who was used to commit violent acts and was a product of the british government. he worked under the supervision of europeans and received orders from them to torture. gita
11:51 am
finally, he is accused of killing one of the prisoners who was subjected to torture known as dilution. this prisoner is given a shovel to dig his own grave. then they beat him brutally. we find out that gavagan writes detailed letters to support samool. he says that according to
11:52 am
my experience from the camp, i can say that he might face the danger of being chased for food. he admits that he and his partner are doing the same thing gito is doing every day because of his trial. if this is not a confession, then what is? the use of coercive force which is legal and the use of force
11:53 am
a punishment that is not legal. coercive force has a very weak definition. in fact, it allows the camp officers to do whatever it takes to get a confession. this is a false distinction for cleaning, which is actually an example. it is torture and nothing but these acts of coercion, that is , systematic torture and a reign of terror in these camps. riots and hunger strikes started and continued in the camps, and those who were in kenya did not understand that this issue goes beyond kenya. and it inflicts a major blow on the reputation of britain and hits it hard.
11:54 am
the non-cooperation of the detainees reaches its peak. conditions it culminates in hula camp. the escalation of violence that had previously occurred in the camps. and it must be said that it crystallized in this camp. at the beginning of march 1959, in hula camp, about 80 people from a group of detainees beat one of the buildings so much that they took their tools and started working . the result is actually a disaster. impossible the detainees did not want to work because they were tortured and they were not given food. when
11:55 am
they put their tools aside and stop working , a group of soldiers attacked the detainees with sticks and batons and beat them severely. the women prisoners take whatever they can get to defend themselves, and this conflict continues for hours. and finally 11 people are killed and 72 others go to the hospital. you say that my father was one of the 11 people who died in the hula massacre because they were not willing to work. beat them with a stick until they die. after they they killed them and buried them in a mass grave. when my father died, they didn't tell us anything at all. some time after this story we will talk about this
11:56 am
topic. the narrative that the british government used regarding the hela camp incident was to say that this incident was a difference it was a separate operation that went completely wrong. but new evidence helps us see very clearly. the british government was well aware of the risk of death of detainees in camps that practiced the torture technique known as dilution. but their reaction was to say that the necessary orders have been given to you and you must execute them. this tragedy is so
11:57 am
heavy for england. i have the duty to present you these legal instruments which mean the granting of independence. the narrative of british rule has always been that the end of the british empire was one it was a consensual process and london allowed it. his children grow up and actually stand on their own feet somehow. but the claim that britain made such a decision by itself is not true, but circumstances imposed the issue on britain. absolutely so. well, the fact is that it took 15 years for the british to accept this issue with protests and shouts, and it was the violence of camp hula that finally shot them the last bullet.
11:58 am
stand up and defend ourselves, what other reaction ? i think we owe a lot to us without the courage they had to spend to announce to the world what happened to them , the information that is in today. we didn't have the option. one of the countries that was freed from british colonialism during the era of elizabeth ii was kenya. the unrest and rebellions of supporters of independence in this country , which began in 1952 at the same time as the coronation of the british queen, finally came to fruition, and the independence of the kenyan people was watered with many bloods, like other british pensions. the independence of this african country was the end of the colonial british era.
11:59 am
