Petition FA to boycott 2014 World Cup in Brazil and recall England team at once. UK government to ask Brazil to clarify claims of the murder of street children

More details

It has been reported by Danish journalist Mikkel Jensen that there has been widespread "cleansing" of the streets in Brazilian cities by authorities murdering street children at night and then disposing of the bodies. Whole areas near World Cup venues have been "cleaned up" in this manner.
The Government must force the FA to re-call the England team at once and take other appropriate action in terms of a total boycott of the competition such as a ban on screening in the UK of any of the competitions fixtures.
Furthermore, an explanation from the Brazilian government regarding these claims should be sought and trade sanctions should be imposed.
There is little time remaining to act on this atrocious situation which is equal to any human rights atrocity committed anywhere in the world.
