Abolish the Human Rights Act.

Closed 369 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe that the Human Rights Act should be abolished. For too long, it has been used as a criminals charter to escape justice and deportation by using the right to family life. It is high time the Government acted and abolished this pernicious Act.
