Around 2,500 people — mostly women — were executed in Scotland between 1563 and 1736 under the country's Witchcraft Act.
Now, hundreds of years later, the Parliament of Scotland is doing something about it — starting with a public apology.
Up to 4,000 people faced treatment such as being stripped and examined to see if any "witches mark" could be found on them, or tortured with sleep deprivation or crushing and pulling out nails. More thanCampaigners have called for a apology for the executions and torture, a pardon for those charged and a public monument.The Witches of Scotland campaign, which has gained traction in recent years, has been calling for three things: an apology, legislation and a national monument.
"Some will ask why this generation should say sorry for something that happened centuries ago," she said.
Scottish gov. is simply trying to deflect attention from their own war on women (see UN comments On the topic of witches - it used to be that witch hunts were wrong because there is no such thing, now its because people have a right to be witches 🤔
Slow news day?
Virtue signalling gone mad 🤦
they still do this in PNG and Africa. wake up.
_LisaParker We await NSW's state apology to Kathleen Folbigg,
Maybe you should do the same 🤷🏻♂️. You othered the unvaccinated. You will apologise and then we might forgive you
More pathetic virtual signalling that achieves NOTHING. And a poor understanding of history to assume this was only impacting women
Wow. It takes this line for people to apologize for their dogma. This is why ideas can be dangerous.
The Witchcraft Act? If you looked like a witch you were deemed a witch. Bizarre times 300 years ago indeed. I might just book myself in for a Tarot card reading today
Crucially, when will Scotland be free from foreign Westminster rule since the Anglos conquered Britain?
never apologise to confirmed witches
Will it take Scotland another 300 year to apologize to the women of Scotland now for what they are allowing men to do in the name of women?
Now do the unvaccinated
