The recent revelations concerning the Salmond case have left many of us in Scotland deeply troubled and demanding transparency and accountability from those in power. The involvement of former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, her private office, special advisors, civil servants, as well as the role of the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service in this matter, raises serious questions that must be addressed. Furthermore, the present First Minister, John Swinney, is alleged to have played a part in covering up the contents of WhatsApp messages that were released by the Sunday Mail on April 19th, 2026.

This situation is about more than just one individual or event; it's about ensuring that our justice system is fair and operates with integrity. The people of Scotland deserve to have confidence in their leaders and institutions, and such confidence can only be restored through a thorough and independent Judicial Review of the Salmond case. This review must investigate the actions of all parties involved and ensure that any missteps or misconduct are brought to light.

We cannot allow the potential mishandling of this case to erode public trust in our government and judicial institutions. It is crucial that we hold our leaders accountable, not only for the decisions they make but also for the transparency with which they operate.

By signing this petition, you are calling upon the Scottish Government to initiate a Judicial Review into the Salmond case, scrutinizing the roles of those mentioned and ensuring that justice is served for the sake of our nation's democratic integrity. Let us come together to demand the transparency and accountability that the people of Scotland deserve. Please sign this petition to make our voices heard and to uphold the values of truth and justice in our society.
