LGBT campaigner calls on Manx police to apologise for past 'wrongs'

Tatchell says gesture would 'draw a line'

A prominent human rights campaigner has called on the Manx police force to apologise for the 'wrongs of the past'. 

Peter Tatchell visited the Island this weekend for an event organised by Alan Shea who petitioned, successfully, to decriminalise homosexuality on the Isle of Man.

Last month the Isle of Man marked its first Pride festival with more than 9,000 people joining to celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community.

It's a journey Mr Tatchell has described as 'truly remarkable and extraordinary'.

However, he told Ewan Gawne he believes an apology still needs to be made:

Manx Radio has contacted the Isle of Man Constabulary for comment.
