Pardon the Witches
A website is collecting signatures for a petition requesting the official pardon of hundreds of accused witches that were executed in Britain between the 16th and 18th centuries.

The website reads:

On 28th of August 2008, the Swiss Parliament granted an official pardon to Anna Goeldi who in 1782 was the last person to be executed as a witch in Western Europe. It is time the British government followed this example and this Halloween offered a symbolic pardon to those people who were punished for witchcraft in Britain between the Sixteenth and Eighteenth Century.


They are hoping for more signatures so I thought DU could be of service. Justice has no statute of limitations.
