Do not allow the media to publicise the name of any terrorist attacker.

What the petition asks

Stop the media from using the names of anyone who has carried out a terrorist attack, unless they are at liberty and need to be caught. Publicising terrorists gives them notoriety & encourages copycat attacks. Let's hear more about the heroes who stopped them or helped in the aftermath.
