Campaigner calls for 2012 Olympics to honour Alan Turing
The man who started the campaign for an official apology to Alan Turing is calling for the 2012 Olympics to recognise the gay mathematician's achievements. Computer programmer John Graham-Cumming says that Turing was not only a mathematical genius but was also an accomplished athlete.
Turing received a posthumous apology from prime minister Gordon Brown in September. He was convicted of homosexuality offences in the 1950s and killed himself after being punished with chemical castration and being barred from his work.
