Apologise for the 46,000 concentration camp civilian deaths in the Boer War

Closed 40 signatures

What the petition asks

During the Boer War (South African War 1899-1902) 46,000 South African civilians died in concentration camps. This matter has recently been trivialised by a British politician and needs careful examination and an acknowledgement of culpability and an apology by the British Government.
