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.
