Open petition: Hold a referendum on reinstating capital punishment
Created by Alan Stedall
Closes on
We call on Parliament to legislate to hold a national referendum on whether capital punishment should be reinstated for the most heinous crimes.
We believe there should be a national referendum on whether the most heinous crimes - particularly those involving extreme cruelty against innocent and defenceless victims — require a sanction beyond imprisonment.
