What the petition asks

We believe the UK should not, in any circumstances, leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), or opt out of, or ignore, any of the rights contained within it. We believe it must rescind any policies or Acts of Parliament that contravene the Convention.
We believe that the UK government is seeking to breach the ECHR through its Rwanda deportation scheme.
