Pardon terror 'if it was for the right reasons'

Postby mrswdk on Tue Feb 06, 2018 8:55 am

Equality campaign group the Fawcett Society and relatives of the suffragettes are among those who called on the home secretary to overturn the convictions of women who were imprisoned while fighting for the vote.

Emmeline Pankhurst, a founder member of the Woman's Social and Political Union, and leading suffragettes Emily Davison and Flora Drummond were some of the women jailed during the campaign for women's votes.

Ms Davison was found guilty of placing a "dangerous substance likely to injure" in a post office letter box outside Parliament and sentenced to six months in Holloway Prison.
