Rejected petition The UK Government to arrange screening of The Interview

More details

In response to Sony's decision to withdraw "The Interview" from theatrical release due to threats from hackers working for North Korea, the British Government should show that it is willing to stand up for free speech,and against this blatant attempt at cyber-warfare, by arranging a public screening of this film. This screening should be solely a government initiative to minimise the risk to any commercial enterprise or individual.
