Amnesty for Troubles killings ‘fundamentally wrong’
July 5, 2021
LONDON: A cross-community group representing victims and survivors of the Troubles has warned the Prime Minister it would be “fundamentally wrong” to grant an amnesty for all killings during the conflict.
The Wave Trauma centre has written an open letter to Boris Johnson following the recent collapse of high profile legacy cases. The letter argues that dealing effectively with “complex and sensitive legacy issues” will not be done by “perverting the criminal justice system”.
Proposals briefed to the Times newspaper in May suggested that the government is planning to end all prosecutions for suspected offences, whether carried out by veterans or by republican and loyalist paramilitaries.
