Uphold Free Speech: Stop Curtailing the Right to Wave the Palestinian Flag!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK government have to stop propaganda regarding the flying of the Palestinian flag; explicitly associating the waving with support for terrorism. We wave the flag high for the freedom of the oppressed Palestinians. Waving a flag is a peaceful,symbolic act of expression & is not illegitimate.
Freedom of speech is a bedrock of democratic societies, allowing citizens to voice their opinions and support causes close to their hearts. The act of waving a flag is a peaceful and symbolic form of expression, not something you should be arrested for! Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right that must be protected and preserved.

Sign this petition to defend the right to wave the Palestinian flag as an expression of solidarity,freedom of speech & peaceful activism. Free Palestine.
