Closed petition Make Holocaust or genocide denial a criminal offence.
Closed on
If these events are witnessed and documented you cannot discredit them. This law would bring the UK into alignment with many other countries in Europe where denial and revisionism is a crime and punishable by a jail term.
With time passing on the largest genocide known to mankind, we must secure the memory of the hideous acts to ensure they are not erased through denial or revisionist acts. This needs to be legislated to prevent similar acts happening again. Many of today’s killers, online are following revisionist websites and groups.
