  • Stop the sale of bullets, tear gas and shield to US police
    Black Lives Matter UK manufacturers are complicit in the violence towards Americans involved in protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. By law, the UK government should be obligated to "freeze" the export of "all policing and security equipment" to the US where it could be misused and yet has failed to act or even to condemn police brutality in the US.

  • Prison visits with social distancing
    It is important as a lot of prisoners and thier family members are suffering from mental illness and depression due to the current circumstances they have gone from 2-4 visits a month for a hour/ 2 hours to none and with them on a longer lockdown where exercise is reduced to 30 minutes per day and current education is suspended they are locked in a 4x4 cell for 23 and a half hours per day and it is affecting thier mental health. And as for families they aren't able to see thier loved ones to make sure they are ok they rely on a phone call and that's if the prisoner has credit on thier private cash it is affecting people all over the country not just at HMP Berwyn.

  • Justice for Belly Mujinga
    Because Belly Mujinga was only doing her job working in public transport in London in this COVID-19 situation. She has family, friends who are devastated of her death. Her family deserve justice. The police have decided to drop the case but this needs to be reinvestigated. There was a man using London transport knowing that he had COVID-19, so he purposely spat on Belly Mujinga. She then died two weeks later. The man spat on two of the railway staff, and the other transport member also got sick, as well as Belly Mujinga who sadly died.

  • Test all UK prisoners for COVID-19
    Prisons provide the ideal setting for contagious diseases to wreak havoc. They are crowded, cramped, often unsanitary institutions, with inadequate healthcare provision for a population often already in poor health. We also have an ageing custodial population, with many prisoners now in the age group at greatest risk of complications from Coronavirus. Many more prisoners will become seriously ill and die.

  • A voice for the people
    I think it is important because if you are an innocent victim of such a awful incident your justice system will work hard to find out the truth where a lot of countries cover up the evidence of incidents that have happened because it is in the country

  • A voice for prisoners & families
    The government ordered lockdown on the 24th March 2020 to stem the outbreak of Covid-19. Since then, the impact on prisoners and their families has become a cause for concern. Government guidance on social distancing, self isolating and other hygiene procedures is being applied to prisons [1]. But there is opportunity for a virus to enter into a prison and for it to also re-enter into the public. This could result in prisoners and prison staff becoming ill, which means the care of duty may be compromised. Once Covid-19 enters a prison it may spread due to the dense conditions inside the prisons [2] - it is more challenging to apply social distancing measures in confined spaces, like prisons. Covid-19 may be more difficult to control in prison environments. It’s important that prisoners receive support with government guidance, such as, on the symptoms of the virus, so they know when they need to contact medical staff. Many prisoners, like the wider population, have health conditions putting them in to the vulnerable category. Medical staff are stretched at the best of times and mental health of both staff and prisoners may suffer. Since the recent lock down all prison visits have been suspended. While completely necessary, this means the only way prisoners can have contact with the ones they love are on the phone or through letters. Provisions have not been put in place to keep family connections, for example, extra phones but as yet, nothing has happened. There are many campaigns about releasing unconvicted prisoners on remand to help reduce the dense populations in prisons. I agree with these campaigners as my loved one is one of them. These men and women are, as the law states, “Innocent until proven guilty”. The media is filled with concern, closing schools, cancelling sporting events etc. but little has been said about the most vulnerable sectors of our population, the people in our prisons. These men and women are forgotten about. When will someone see the importance for prisoners to be able to keep up with family bonds. Prisoners aren’t just a number on a spread sheet or a figure of statistic, they are human beings just like you and I .

  • Improve mental health provision in prisons
    Prisons have suffered severe cuts in funding which has resulted in prisoners suffering mentally. As you may be aware, re-offending rate has been higher than ever with 60% of prisoners re-offending. With lack of support due to cuts, can you blame them? By signing a petition, you make the government aware of this rising epidemic to all prisoners. Improving the mental health of prisoners is a difficult and complex task, but it is an essential step to reducing re-offending and ensuring that those who are released from prison can rebuild their lives in the community. Despite this, Government’s efforts to improve the mental health of those in prison so far have been poorly co-ordinated, and information is still not shared across the organisations involved, and not even between community and prison GP services. We want to help the inmates feel like they can reform and that society is supporting them in this. We all have a responsibility to help them because we are all affected when prisoners reoffend on their release.

  • Set Up A Fully-Funded, Trained National Fraud and Economic Crimes Division
    Action Fraud has been exposed as a sham, lip-service to what is a growing epidemic of economic crime, leading to poorly conducted police investigations and ineffective justice and recompense for victims. Meanwhile fraudsters and scammers get away with it time and again, succeeding in misrepresenting non-existent investments or opportunities. The banking industry for the last three years has even known - and has remained silent - about a false-investments online platform made available through licence-charges to criminal syndicates to simulate non-existent investments to give the appearance to victims that their defrauded funds are being invested in realistic-looking investments, which don't actually exist. Meanwhile, FCA fines imposed on financial institutions that were complicit either knowingly or unknowingly in the fraud are directed to the treasury, without being earmarked for any kind of national fraud investigation agency. Scamming and fraud, which has become sophisticated and very professional in the last decade, has risen by at least 10% in the last three years without any sign of slowing or being tackled properly. Instead, police forces play pass-the-parcel with economic crimes cases and nobody takes responsibility for investigating these crimes. A lack of a proper concerted government-led response in establishing a national economic crimes and restitution unit demonstrates that the government of the UK in reality doesn't care for individuals who have been played or scammed by sophisticated and persuasive fraudsters, and it reveals that the government and police-forces of the UK would rather engage in blaming the victims rather than the criminals, thereby endorsing economic crimes and their perpetrators.
