PBW Law’s Top Scottish Lawyer Calls on President Trump to Release Lockerbie Files
PBW Law's Professor Peter Watson, the leading Scottish lawyer who represented the British victims of the Lockerbie disaster, has called on the Trump administration to release files held by specialist agencies in the US related to the tragedy.
In a letter to Matthew Palmer, Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy to the UK, Professor Peter Watson, who served as the secretary of the Lockerbie Disaster Group which was a collective of legal representatives advocating for the British victims, has asked for the classified intelligence documents to finally be released.
