Save Danny Fitzsimons Campaign – John Tipple, Danny’s Solicitor. P.4

Most signed the Stop the War petitions calling for troops back from Afghanistan, and to Free Joe Glenton, the soldier currently in prison for opposing the Afghan war. Danny Fitzsimons served in the British army in Kosovo and Iraq where he experienced many horrors of war that damaged his mental health. He was kicked out the army because he was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After a period of unemployment he signed up for private security contractors despite suffering from PTSD. There appeared to be little in the way of proper screening for this illness by the security contractors. He was sent to Iraq by armourgroup and after only 36 hours in the country, he got into an alcohol fueled fight with two of his colleagues shooting them dead–injuring also an Iraqi national who worked for amourgroup. Proceedings will start shortly in Iraq that could lead to the ex-soldier being hung in the very chamber that Saddam Hussein was hung. He faces a murder trial after shooting dead two co-workers in Iraq. The main theme of the meeting was that Danny was a just as much a victim of the war as the iraqi people, that he is merely a pawn in the war. The consensus was that armourgroup is the real culprit and should be put on trial for failing to screen recruits like Danny for post traumatic stress disorder, for
