Rejected petition Provide full protection for British Expatriates living within the EU.
Extremists have threatened a British family living in Greece and have forced them to close the 'Hope Centre' which had been set up to provide refugee relief. They're now being intimidated in order to leave. We urge the government to guarantee the safety of all British citizens living within the EU.
More details
Eric Kempson and his family have lived on the Island of Lesvos in Greece for the past 16 years helping thousands of refugees fleeing persecution and war.
Locals and volunteers from all over the world have assisted in the relief effort and have contributed in developing the 'Hope Centre' which is now currently closed.
Racists and fascists groups across Europe have become emboldened due to the result of the EU referendum. British citizens living in the EU must be protected.
