What the petition asks
Mothers of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq are "astonished and appalled" at failures to scrap criminal inquiries against veterans. Cases include a Taliban bombmaker who claims his detention for 106 days was illegal, despite troops' belief he would kill British soldiers if they released him.
