Deadline extended for victims of Defence Forces abuse to make submissions to tribunal

A March 2023 report detailed allegations of brutal and 'sadistic' abuse within the Defence Forces — including the rape of both male and female soldiers.

The deadline by which victims of Defence Forces abuse can make submissions to the Defence Forces Tribunal has been extended.

The tribunal’s chair has agreed to give serving and ex-soldiers until the end of September, instead of the end of August, to make their submissions.
