Closed Pardon for all gay men convicted for indecency in private under section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885

Closed on

In light of the recent pardon for Alan Turing, there should be a pardon for all men similarly convicted.

Turing was convicted under section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 for indecency in private with another man.

We ask that work should be undertaken to devise a process leading to the pardon of all men convicted on the same basis as Turing, living or dead.
