The government is expected to apologise to those imprisoned during the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, the BBC understands.


Compensation for the victims is also expected to be announced.


UK-based law firm Leigh Day is representing more than 5,000 Kenyan men and women who say they were tortured or otherwise mistreated by the British administration in Kenya in the 1950s.


The British fought a bitter battle with Mau Mau insurgents demanding land and an end to colonial rule.


A court in London last year ruled against the British government, which had argued the events in question had occurred too long ago to allow justice to be done.
