Rejected petition Serious criminals should automatically lose their human rights

More details

For too long serious criminals have been given soft sentences for crimes which should carry life sentences such as child abusers and murderers. Then once released from their soft sentences some are given new identities, homes and benefits.

I am starting this petition as human rights of serious criminals should be revoked immediately. The criminals rights seem to be more important than those of their victims that they disregarded so easily.

The Government should enforce harsher sentencing and no benefits for serious criminals without worrying about human rights.
