Closed This petition is in support of the full disclosure of all documents relating to the 1888 Whitechapel / Jack the Ripper case

Closed on

The unwarranted secrecy surrounding this historically-important series of unsolved murders has prevailed for over 120 years.

We the undersigned therefore ask Her Majesty's Government to declassify and make available to the public at the UK National Archives all hitherto unpublished files, documents and papers relating to these murders in their entire and unredacted form.
