What the petition asks
We advocate for the rigorous application of life sentences for child murder convictions, mandating a minimum of 30 years or a whole life order without the option for early parole.
We want ineligibility for parole to apply to new and existing sentences, to reflect our dedication to justice and the safeguarding of children.
