Rejected petition Stop the proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

Stop the proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill Which has serious implications on the right to protest peacefully.

More details

This is a frightening attack on the freedom of the public to hold the government responsible and fight for the equality that they impede.

Amend the Bill to remove the vague content regarding protest which infringes human rights. It removes our right to freely defend our liberty and hold an disturbingly draconian and authoritarian government to account.
