Non-fatal strangulation should be charged as attempted murder. Putting hands around someone’s throat restricts air and blood flow and can kill. This must not be treated as minor assault.","additional_details":"Domestic violence is rising and victims deserve stronger protection. Non-fatal strangulation is not “minor” assault, it is a life-threatening act. If someone puts their hands around another person’s throat, they are restricting airflow and blood flow with the intent to cause serious harm or death. Strangulation is a key predictor of future homicide. Laws must change so non-fatal strangulation is treated as attempted murder with stricter sentencing.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-01-23T23:30:16.048Z","updated_at":"2026-03-16T09:00:47.442Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-16T09:00:47.444Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-08T00:33:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/759084"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
