The Pardon for Helen Duncan

In November  2007 we were asked to spearhead the Scottish campaign for the full pardon not only of Helen Duncan but for all those accused and prosecuted under the witchcraft act in the years of our Scottish history.

Helen Duncan was the last person to be prosecuted under the witchcraft act , yet she was a lady only using her mediumistic gifts to help people.

The Government of the day however saw the need to silence her due to the accurate information that she gave to people during the years of World War II.

We were asked by our fellow campigners in England to spearhead the Scottish campaign for a full pardon for Helen Duncan , which to date has been unsuccessful.

It is due to Helen Duncan’s case and the subsequent repealing of the witchcraft act that mediums can practice their gifts fully today and that is why we were proud to help our colleagues in this case.

Our group submitted a petition to the Scottish Parliament which was heard in March 2008. The petition asked the Scottish Parliament to make representations to the Westminster Government to bring pressure on Helen's case for a pardon being fully looked into.

Unfortunately, the Scottish Parliament did not take that particular petition forward, although the case for Helen Duncan was highlighted extensively in local, national and international news.

The campaign to pardon Helen is currently back at the Westminster Government by our colleagues in England, but we will be actively supporting the ongoing campaign.
