Revoke the right to legal aid for terrorists.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

British citizens who have joined active terrorists groups both in the U.K. and abroad are using the British legal system to get free legal aid. This is a practice that needs urgent attention. Terrorists revoke all rights to access British funds the moment they become enemies of the state.
