Harsher penalties for hate crimes & participating in far-right hate groups

Closed 63 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government needs to speak up in cases of injustice. I want to see the minimum&maximum sentencing for hate crimes, including hate-motivated vandalism to be reviewed&harsher penalties implemented.

I also want to review sentencing for people inciting violence based on protected characteristics.
Because racists feel able to roam our streets, threaten our black & POC/minority communities, because hate crimes still exist.

Because members of our community are attacked regularly and there NEEDS to be a deterrent or a punishment for the offender, and we need to seek just for for ALL victims & affected communities.
