Impose a mandatory life sentence for acid attacks

What the petition asks
The effects of vitriolage on a victim are lifelong, therefore a life sentence is the only fair way to deal with the perpetrator. Mandatory life sentences would also act as a deterrent, and reduce the number of such heinous attacks in London.
