 Between 1563 and 1736, more than two and a half thousand people in Scotland were convicted and executed on the charge of practising witchcraft. The vast majority of those sentenced to death were women. Many of those accused and convicted were also tortured. I'm Natalie Dawn, member of the Scottish Parliament for Remshire North and West, and I'm consulting on a draft proposal for a Member's Bill to pardon all those convicted under the Witchcraft Act 1563. A pardon would ensure that those convicted as witches are recognised as victims of a miscarriage of justice and are no longer recorded in history as criminals. It is my view that to build a fairer, more equal and forward-thinking Scotland, we must address the historic injustices of our past. I believe that a legislative pardon would also set an example to other countries, including those where convictions for witchcraft are still taking place. My consultation is open now, so please share your views on my proposals. Thank you.
