Kingdom FM The government is poised to announce a statute of limitations, effectively ending all prosecutions related to the Northern Ireland Troubles.
Described as a de facto amnesty for former British soldiers and former paramilitaries, the proposal applies to incidents prior to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
It is opposed by all five of the main political parties in Northern Ireland and by the Irish government.
The move is driven by a government pledge to end the historical prosecution of soldiers who served in Northern Ireland.
But many victims say they can t believe veterans would want an amnesty that also applies to the very terrorists who murdered their comrades.
