Grant asylum to White South Africans and provide emergency support

Closed 157 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the Government should:
1) Recognise the treatment of White South Africans
2) Grant & fast-track asylum for White South Africans, who we consider are facing discrimination & violence
3) Provide emergency support to those affected
4) Push South Africa to do more to protect their rights
The US Government has offered White South Africans refugee status. South Africa’s land seizure law policy allows for the seizure of land without compensation. We believe this policy is racially discriminatory. South Africa has strong historical ties to the UK, and we believe the UK must act.
