Please protect the human rights act in the UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To protect the HRA as it stands in the UK, to ensure that asylum seekers' human rights are respected and that they are not deported, and to ensure that the UK's opposition to the death penalty at home and abroad remains steadfast.

The UK must continue to champion human rights and not use Brexit as a chance to deport asylum seekers who would face torture and the death penalty at home. . “Evidence from around the world has shown that the death penalty has no unique deterrent effect on crime.”(Amnesty) . The death penalty is abhorrent and ineffective on moral and legal grounds and the UK's opposition to it is now threatened by the possibility of changes to the HRA; then amnesty quote
