12th April 2017 Dear Attorney-General, Ref: PICAT request for consent to prosecute for conspiracy to commit a war crime. I am writing to you to ask when we might expect to receive a response from the Attorney-General to our request for consent to prosecute the Secretary of State for Defence and the Prime Minister for conspiracy to commit a war crime. As you are aware I sent, on the 4th February 2017, a draft indictment. This was 10 weeks ago. My first approach to you, however, was in February 2016 on behalf of the Knighton Action for Peace and Justice and then in July it was agreed that the requests from all 5 PICAT groups would be combined. During the year we have sent you all the requested clarifications and materials that you have asked for. We would now like to have a response please as the matter is of the utmost urgency. I would remind you that if Counsel advising the Attorney-General want easy access to our materials (especially the documents in the 'Evidence' section) they can find them at:- http://picat.online/legal-documents-advice Yours Sincerely, Angie Zelter, on behalf of the 5 PICAT groups.
