A man credited with saving thousands of lives during World War Two should be posthumously pardoned for his historic conviction, Professor Stephen Hawking has said.
Codebreaker Alan Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 following his relationship with another man, and killed himself two years later.
Hawking is among a group of scientists who have written to the Daily Telegraph asking for the conviction to be overturned for Turing, who is considered to be the father of the modern computer and key in cracking the enigma code.
The letter comes after Lord Sharkey, a Liberal Democrat peer and one of the signatories, introduced a private members bill in the Lords to grant Turing an official pardon in July.

His choice to engage in homosexual sex did not contribute to his mathematics genius and is nothing to be rewarded for...
With this, Hawking the intellectual adulterer and morally devoid scientist of blasphemy is but another useful idiot working for the homosexual sex is normal promoters.
Intelligence does not make a moral man. Hawking's morality quotient is on par with that of the morality of a homosexual penguin that voted for the kenyan marxixt.
Who? Stephen Hawking? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....hahahahahahah....snort.....ohhhhhhhhhh, Lord help US!
