Hang on a minute, G4S

G4S, you’re one of the world’s largest private security firms, and not long ago one of your companies hired a man with serious mental health problems, packed him off to Iraq, and gave him a rifle.  

Now he’s facing execution because he’s accused of using that gun to kill two men. 

The least you can do is pay his legal costs, so that he can get a fair trial in Iraq. He shouldn’t have been there, and he shouldn’t have been armed. 

So far, you have offered the equivalent of four seconds of your annual turnover to ‘help’ him out. His lawyers in Iraq say that a fair trial will cost you only one minute of your annual turnover. Surely that’s a cost worth paying for justice for an employee that you put in harm’s way?

Danny Fitzsimmon’s trial in Iraq has been adjourned until 13 June to allow him to be tested by the Psychiatric Medical Committee in Baghdad's Al Rashad Mental Hospital. 

G4S, can you spare a minute between now and then to help out your man?
