What the petition asks
We call on the Government to abolish the mandatory use of face coverings from 24 July 2020. The Government is infringing on our Right to Life by breathing freely.
According to the Human Rights Acts 1998, Schedule 1, Article 2 our Right to Life is affected by being forced to wear a face covering as it prohibits us from breathing freely. Furthermore it is in breach with Article 3 of the same Human Rights Act as it is degrading the British Citizen. By forcing us to wear a mask, we are being debased (reduced to a lower quality being). This degrading causes us a loss of self-respect. It humiliates and demeans the status of our people - stop passive torture!
