Rejected petition Stop Jon Venables' release from prison

More details

Two year old James Bulger was murdered by two teenagers Robert Thompson and Jon Venables in 1993.

Both were released in 2001 after only serving 8 years under new identities but Venables was arrested once more in 2010 after being found with indecent images of children and sentenced to two years.

However, a parole board has decided that he is fit to be released back into the public. This should not be allowed to happen, he is a clear danger to the public - sign and help stop this.
