Motion on the Neil Latimer Case

There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

The Forum calls for the immediate release of Neil Latimer, the remaining member of the "UDR four". He is being held for a crime on highly questionable evidence.

The insurmountable evidence in his defence has been brushed aside.

We therefore call for his immediate release, a retrial or a referral of his case to the criminal case review body and substantial compensation for 13 years of unwarranted incarceration.

Decisions yet to be taken
