Kenyan tribes have taken the UK government to the European Court of Human Rights over allegations of land theft, eviction and torture in the dying days of British colonial rule.The Talai and Kipsigis are seeking £168 billion in compensation and an apology for historic crimes they say were committed in Kericho, western Kenya, one of the world's foremost tea-producing regions.'The UK Government has ducked and dived, and sadly avoided every possible avenue of redress,' said Joel Kimutai Bosek, one of the lawyers who filed the case on Tuesday.
