Petition Legal Duty to Provide Assistance
More details
Malaysian student Ashraf Haziq was mugged by rioters while sitting on the ground bleeding and injured with a broken jaw. This petition calls for Government to pass a new "stop and assist" law making it a legal requirement for citizens to assist people in distress, with criminal liability for bystanders who fail to do so. Such laws currently exist in other European countries including Spain, Germany and France, where the failure to provide assistance is punishable with imprisonment or a fine.
