The Government must not set a precedent that certain individuals are above the law and will not be accountable for crimes against the people in the north of Ireland. Justice must be served for all victims and their families.

Giving British soldiers who served in NI protection from prosecution would set a dangerous precedent that people who may be war criminals can go unpunished.

The Government must pledge to all victims and affected parties that they will not create such protections, so that trials and prosecutions can proceed in the same ways as would be the case if anyone else was charged with committing a crime.
