Closed Make using the "Z" symbol to support Russian invasion of Ukraine an offence

Closed on

Join other countries in criminalising the use of the "Z" symbol, used by Russian forces & pro-war supporters to symbolise the illegal invasion of Ukraine, in public places . We believe the "Z" symbol is equivalent to the Nazi Swastika, and should be banned.

The Z symbol is used as a means to show support for the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine. 11 countries have implemented measures to ban the symbol’s use in public, including Poland, Germany, Latvia, Estonia and the Czech Republic. The UK should join those countries in their condemnation of this new symbol of aggression towards Ukraine by making the symbol illegal to display in public.
