BAFF spokesman on Iraq Historic Allegations inquiry

"The people making these accusations have to put up or shut up. It is almost impossible to imagine that justice can be done after the amount of time that has passed. Our members are wondering about the motivation of this inquiry. Is it a sop to 'Human Rights' opinion, or is it actually aimed towards reaching a conclusion?"

Weale was also interviewed on BFBS Forces News, and spoke about allegations which can possibly never be proved hanging over individuals, who in some cases may no longer be serving, long after the event.

Footnote: BAFF takes genuine human rights seriously, including the human rights of serving and retired British forces personnel, and we supported the campaign on behalf of former Iraqi local staff in extra danger because of their work for British agencies.
