Petition An Apology for the Amritsar Massacre

More details

The UK Government (and Queen) have issued other apologies for massacres committed in times past for example The Bloody Sunday killings in Ireland.

Plenty of people have demanded a full apology for the Amritsar killings - to do so could only bring our nations closer.
