Pardon those executed as witches in the Lanchasire Witch Trials of 1612

Petition Details

In 1612, 10 men and women were hanged after being found guilty of witchcraft in the Pendle Witch trials in Lancashire, England. Despite the UK government abolishing the superstitious laws that allowed this, a pardon has never been granted for the victims of this injustice.
