Rejected petition Human rights for all but offenders

More details

Human rights laws are a good thing in principle but should not be extended to offenders who abuse the human rights of other citizens and are awarded custodial sentences on account of such abuse. These offenders should relinquish the same rights they choose to abuse in the everyday haven of a safe society.
