Petition Abolish Prevent Strategy

We want the Prevent Strategy to be abolished.

More details

We believe the Prevent policy has become a political tool to mark anyone with ideas different to those of the main parties.

We are concerned that any Government can add or remove themes and ideologies that could bring them political benefits.

We think that under the new definition of extremism many people in UK, including supporters of established political parties, could be covered by the the Prevent Strategy.

We believe the definition and prevention of terrorism should be done by specialists.
