What the petition asks
In 1919 Colonel Dyer ordered his men to fire, and maybe 1,000 peaceful protesters were left dead. At the time Winston Churchill proclaimed the massacre "monstrous" and the British Government condemned Dyer for his actions, but no apology has since been forthcoming. It is now time to apologise.
