Hermer Praises Human Rights Lawyers for Their Work on British Soldiers in Emails Obtained by The Telegraph

Summary

Emails reported by The Telegraph indicate that Richard Hermer praised human rights lawyers for their work on allegations against British soldiers in Iraq, suggesting their efforts had greater societal impact. The message was sent after evidence presented at a public inquiry challenged earlier claims that troops had committed murder and torture in southern Iraq. In correspondence, he stated that the accused soldiers could not claim to have made a comparable difference to people’s lives, unlike the lawyers who pursued the case over several years.
