Almost 2,000 Kenyans living around Fresh Del Monte’s pineapple plantation accuse guards of brutal violence. Four bodies were found on the multinational fruit company’s land over Christmas.

At the end of December, a civil claim was filed against Fresh Del Monte by a group of human rights organisations on behalf of 10 individuals, who alleged they were stabbed, stoned, tortured and raped by the company’s guards.

Del Monte, whose fresh fruit is a global staple, is the largest exporter of Kenyan produce to the world, and one of the East African country’s biggest employers.
