The Trial of Dedan Kimathi

Kimathi is captured and the colonial authorities say they will put him on trial.^[6] In his first trial, Kimathi meets with Shaw Henderson. During the meeting, Kimathi is told he will be released if he pleas for his life, but he rejects the offer. In his second trial, Kimathi meets with a delegation. A banker in the delegation argues that Kenya's economy grew under the colonial government, which Kimathi refutes. In his third trial, Kimathi meets with a priest, a businessman and a politician, who all tempt him to surrender. Kimathi is briefly swayed, but rejects their offer. In the four trial, Kimathi meets with Shaw Henderson again. Henderson tortures Kimathi in an attempt to get him to reveal the identities of his fellow revolutionist, but Kimathi refuses and eventually dies.^[2]
