This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Protect British soldiers from prosecution if Chilcot recommends it.
If the Chilcot report recommends British soldiers should be prosecuted over their actions in the Iraq War, we believe they should be spared such prosecution.
Our brave boys were ordered to fight an illegal war on a tissue of lies.
Politicians should face prosecution, not trained soldiers.
More details

They were sent to war by an incumbent Government.
Soldiers fight for Queen and Country, irrespective of the political hue of the Government.
Politicians should be the ones to face prosecution, not our brave soldiers.
