Barbara Mills, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said an 18-month investigation in Argentina, the Falklands, and Britain by Scotland Yard detectives had failed to unearth sufficient evidence to justify charges.
The investigation was launched after publication of the book "Excursion to Hell" by Vince Bramley, a former lance corporal who fought in the conflict. Bramley alleged that a number of criminal offenses were committed by members of the Parachute Regiment, including the murder of four captured Argentinean soldiers.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
