Battle to put more killers in the dock
BRITISH victims of terrorism are today launching a campaign to make it easier to bring their attackers to justice.
Relatives and survivors are determined to change the law so there are fewer obstacles to hauling terrorists and their supporters before the courts.
An umbrella organisation representing more than 11,500 UK victims of terror is spearheading a fundraising drive to try to bring about a ‘much-needed and longoverdue’ shake-up of legislation.
Reforms would make it easier for them to prosecute the terrorist organisations, foreign states and officials behind atrocities anywhere in the world in which Britons are murdered.
Currently, if the British Government will not or cannot bring prosecutions, then the victims must do it themselves but face several barriers.
Innocent Victims United is launching a £25,000 crowd-funding initiative to pay for lawyers to carry out a legal review of how existing laws are failing and to produce a policy paper on how they could be changed.
