A petition calling for the establishment of an officially recognised Conscientious Objectors' Day in Wales has been handed over to the National Assembly's Petitions Committee.
The full petition wording is as follows:
We, the undersigned, strongly urge the Welsh Assembly to establish an officially recognised Conscientious Objectors' Day in Wales. This would be a fitting memorial to all those who suffered during that conflict and especially to those who stood in the Welsh tradition of peace-making at great personal cost. Wales would be the first country to have done this and may, thereby, prompt others to consider acting similarly.
A petition is a way of asking the National Assembly to consider any issue, problem or proposal that the Assembly has the power to do something about.
