What the petition asks
Venezuela is acting like a rogue state. Its citizens are being denied their basic rights and it’s been linked with narco-trafficking and the sales of passports to the black market. Due to the economic meltdown in Venezuela there is a high risk to UK citizens allowing Venezuelan diplomats in the UK.
Venezuelan Diplomats should be expelled and the Embassy in London closed to avoid risk to the UK:
