Closed 469 signatures

What the petition asks

We are the only European country that has been banned from travelling to Tunisia. France suffered 3 terrorist attacks in 1year the last with the loss of 129 lives yet we are still allowed to travel there, We where allowed to travel to USA after 9/11, we wanted other nations to visit London after 7/7
Our government are playing into the hands of Isis, they attack Muslim countries so they can radicalise its inhabitants, Islamic state will use Tunisia as a breeding ground for future terrorists and leaving the ban in place is creating poverty and uncertainty.

Many Tunisian people are devastated that the British government have placed this ban on us.

We ask that you give us the chance to decide if we want to travel to Tunisia or not, we should have the freedom of choice as other countries do.
