Remove Part 3 of the Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Amend The Bill.
The Bill, specifically Part 3, is too loosely defined. It will make the Human Right to protest unviable. It also allows Government to target unsympathetic causes and silence them. This is a dangerous and unnecessary action. The Public Offences Act already covers dealing with protests.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: Do not restrict our rights to peaceful protest.
