Rejected petition To impose longer prison sentences for discrimination
There have been so many cases where those who have discriminated against people, because of their sexuality, race, religion gender have either been let off and/or had a short prison sentence. Nobody should be let off as they have committed a crime.
There should be instant prison sentences.
More details
Those who have been discriminated against, have either been verbally abused, assaulted and/or have been killed, which is heartbreaking. Nobody should be verbally abused, assaulted and/or killed because of their sexuality, race, religion, gender and so on.
People fear walking the street in case something is going to happen to them again or if nothing has happened, fear that something will happen. We shouldn't have to have that fear hanging over our shoulders.
There needs to be longer sentences
