Government is 'complicit' in veteran 'witch-hunt'
UK Governments are "complicit" in a witch-hunt against former servicemen and women who served in Northern Ireland.
The accusation came from a former army officer and Conservative MP Bob Stewart during a debate on prosecuting veterans for alleged offences going back to the 1970s and 80s.
The debate was prompted by a public petition saying the military should not be prosecuted for their "work" in Northern Ireland.
Kristiina Cooper reports.
