Rejected petition Stop Trump’s visit to UK in light of Child Separation & Incarceration policy
The dehumanising policy of separating children from their families and keeping them apart in special ‘camps’ is antagonistic to British Values. To continue with this visit is to support and tacitly approve this disgusting policy.
The British people do not want to be associated with this policy.
More details
The president of the American Academy of Paediatrics, Dr Colleen Kraft witnessed the practice first hand & described in detail the emotional & physical harm done to children exposed to these kinds of stresses. She was measured & not alarmist but when pushed said that this was indeed child abuse.

Four former First Ladies, UNHCR Grandi have also condemned this.
