Rejected petition Stop harassment of British soldiers by IHAT and legal aid funded lawyers

Brave servicemen are being subjected to intolerable harassment from ambulance chasing lawyers funded by legal aid, and from the government body, the Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT). These men served their country and many were mentally and phyisically injured. The government must end this now.
