[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barack Obama’s grandfather was imprisoned and brutally tortured by the British
during the violent struggle for Kenyan independence, according to the Kenyan
family of the US President-elect.

Hussein Onyango Obama, Mr Obama’s paternal grandfather, became involved in the
Kenyan independence movement while working as a cook for a British army
officer after the war. He was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a
high-security prison where, according to his family, he was subjected to
horrific violence to extract information about the growing insurgency.
