Justice for Northern Ireland Veterans

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Northern Irelands secretary of state Karen Bradley is excluding a statute of limitations that will protect veterans from prosecution , however the IRA have had an exclusive arrangement since 1998
Stop the persecution of veterans to appease Sinn Fein , The Government has offered immunity from prosecution to hundreds of IRA terrorists . They openly support the Good Friday agreement that offers no protection to members of the security forces , over 150 OTR letters, otherwise referred to as letters of comfort have been issued to many terrorists . This prevents prosecution for past crimes of mass murder and genocide . We have seen elderly veterans dragged before the courts , stop the witch hunt !
