Petition Azhar Ahmed - Stop this unjustified inhibition on the right to free speech and expression.

More details

The use of section 127(1)(a) of the Communications Act 2003 to criminalise opinions, views and comment on social media sites is grossly offensive.

The people demand the freedom to express opinion, share views and comment without the threat of being convicted of a crime because someone takes offence. Parliament must debate this issue.
