Make using "Z" to show support for the invasion of Ukraine a criminal offence

Closed 302 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask for the Government to make it a criminal offence to use the letter "Z" to indicate support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 of February 2022, the so called "zvastika" has been used to indicate support for it.
People of the UK shall not be subjected to Russian fascist propaganda. Using "Z" to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine should be made a criminal offence, so that people doing this can be prosecuted.
