Petition · past parliament

Give legal protection to all soldiers who served in Northern Ireland.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The PSNI seem intent on a witch hunt against former soldiers whilst offering immunity from prosecution to terrorists. This is wholly wrong. We want the government to give all soldiers who served in NI the same immunity as they have given the IRA.

Why it was rejected
