Rejected petition Stricter punishments for human trafficers
More details
As part of our campaign, we focused on the slave trade, which STILL goes on to this day. The current punishment for a trafficer is 16-20 years. We belive that this doesn't fully justify the crime. We would like to see the government raise the ssentence by about 10-15 years and possibly to put a fine into place.
