What the petition asks
We are asking the Government to amend existing offences around supporting terror groups to specifically ban the purchase or display of all flags/symbols of terror groups in the UK.
We believe it is too easy for people to get away with buying and displaying flags/symbols of terror groups, and that this risks:
1. Endangering Public Safety
2. Escalating Riots, Extremists, Radicalization and Future Terror Attacks.
3. Promoting Serious Division and Hatred
4. Legitimization of Terrorism
5. Hindering Peace and Stability
6. Increased Burden on Law Enforcement
