Rejected petition Erradication of the possibility of the death penalty ever being reintroduced to the UK
More details
We the undersigned wish it to written into law that the death penalty can never be reintroduced in the United Kingdom under any circumstances.
Although we understand that such crimes as the murder of children are heinous and should be punished, we also feel that punishment killing of another human being is not appropriate in a civilised society.
