I read an article explaining how the victims of abuse in the 1980's are now receiving compensation. In 1988, Lawyers brought the alleged abuse to court. The lawsuit has remained unsettled since then. The Victims of the abuse are from Kenya. Kenya is located in eastern Africa.
The victims claimed to have been kept in waterlogged torture chambers. The leader of the country, Daniel Moi, claims there was no such torture. The courts ruled that a decision about the victims could not be made until Moi was no longer in control of the country. Moi retired in 2002, and the decision about the torture is now made. The victims will receive 500,000 dollars. Is money truly supposed to lessen pain and stress from torture years ago? I think not.
