What the petition asks
To stop the prosecution of Northern Ireland veterans. Some of them are ill, with not long to live.
It has been many years now. The ones who are still alive have their families to think of, and some their grandchildren.
These men and women served their country. And we feel its time they were allowed live out their lives in dignity, after facing things that others can only imagine. Most of these ex soldiers, still have the loss of their friends, and PTSD on their minds, in their times of solitude.
Thank you, in advance.
