Free Albert Patterson!
SAS hero jailed over Falklands War gun trophy: Former soldier is sentenced to 15 months for 8keeping 9mm pistol to remind him of 22 friends who died during the conflict. He was a hero for this country, then went onto help in Afghanistan and Iraq, knowing he could be captured by ISIS.
We want him released. He should've never got a jail sentence & we want an appeal, for Albert to be released from prison immediately. So please, sign this petition & free this hero.
An article from the Daily Mail to explain the situation further.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for releasing people from prison. You could ask the Government to ask the Queen to exercise the prerogative of mercy.
You could also start a new petition calling on Parliament to change the law, to prevent cases like this happening in the future. This is likely to be more effective than asking for a court sentence to be overturned.
