Furious SAS troops in High Court war crimes probe accuse senior judge of acting 'unlawfully'​

SAS soldiers have launched a legal fightback after a High Court judge banned them from attending hearings.

They have accused Lord Justice Haddon-Cave of acting 'unlawfully' and breaching 'open justice'.

The judge is heading an inquiry at the Royal Courts of Justice into claims the SAS committed war crimes in Afghanistan.

The soldiers, through the Ministry of Defence's Witness Legal Team (MODWLT), have applied for a Judicial Review into Haddon-Cave's ruling.

The dramatic move comes as the Mail's Stop the SAS Betrayal has exposed mistreatment of veterans by courts.

SAS soldiers who fought the IRA could face murder charges after a ruling by a coroner in Northern Ireland.

Their cause has triggered huge public support. Just under 200,000 people have signed an online petition to protect veterans from the Troubles era.

SAS soldiers dramatically cleared of murdering Syria jihadist in battle after two-year legal nightmare​

Five SAS soldiers facing murder charges over the death of a known Islamic terrorist in Syria have had their names cleared, the Mail can reveal.

After a two-year legal nightmare, the elite troops have been told they will not face a court martial.

In a case that provoked fury within the regiment, the ‘Blades’ as SAS soldiers are known, were accused of using excessive force on the battlefield three years ago.

They had pursued the jihadist at night in a rural area after watching a video of him in which he vowed to ‘blow up infidels’.

In the footage he was seen wearing a suicide vest, which was found near where he was shot dead in pitch darkness. For security reasons, the location and date of the operation cannot be disclosed.

Given the circumstances, the troops were shocked to learn later that they were being investigated by the Royal Military Police (RMP).

One told colleagues he felt like a ‘tethered goat’ as RMPs, top brass and lawyers used the incident as a test case.

A friend said: ‘It takes some believing but the guys have been staring down the barrel of murder trials for shooting a confirmed jihadist in a live battlefield situation.

‘How on earth anyone could accuse them of using excessive force in that situation was beyond everyone.

Because this is what happens when lawyers and careerists get involved who have ZERO experience in waging war.
