Rejected petition Give Servicemen who served in Northern Ireland protection from prosecution.

Servicemen who served in Northern Ireland should receive the same protection from prosecution as given to members of the IRA, by the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, sanctioned by Prime Minister Tony Blair. This issue has widespread public knowledge and therefore requires no further background narrative.
