End Abuse of Terrorism Law

End Abuse of Terrorism Law — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

All proscriptions under terrorism law should be subject to the Affirmative Resolution procedure. Lifting proscriptions can be done using the netative procedure. Damage to property when protesting should be regarded as criminal damage.

Additional details

The current situation is an unacceptable attack on free speech, and is in marked contrast to the situation in the USA. The government should not be able to censor views just because it disagrees. It is probably a contradition to the ECHR. The government's reliance on selecting biassed judges must end.
