Rejected petition The immediate release of hero Sgt Blackman, and quashing of his conviction!
We believe that sending a man to war and then imprisoning him for killing the already mortally wounded enemy is a betrayal. The cover-up in this case brings the Forces into disrepute. We demand that Sgt Blackman is released, his conviction quashed, compensation paid and those involved are arrested.
More details
We believe in light of the discrepancies and taking into account the circumstances, Blackman is a hero not a criminal. Find out more about the horrendous treatment and betrayal of Sgt Blackman below:
