Celebrities and members of Alan Turing family have signed an open letter to the government, asking for a posthumous pardon for around 50,000 men convicted for being gay.

Alan Turing - famous for breaking the German Enigma code - was convicted of homosexual activity in 1952. He chose to undergo chemical castration rather than go to prison. Two years later, he died of cyanide poisoning and a verdict of suicide was recorded. Turing was pardoned in 2013, campaigners now want that pardon extended to those convicted of the same offence. Rachel Barnes is Alan Turing's great niece, she spoke to 5 live.
