This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Free Sgt Alexander Blackman
More details
I would like people to sign this petition due to the challenging circumstances that our soldiers face in Afghanistan and to understand that mistakes can be made.
In sgt Alexander Blackman's he made a mistake in which he later regretted.
Nobody in there right mind believes that he is a threat to society and should therefore be considered for release. I believe a discussion in the houses of parliament about potential release should be scheduled.
