Reverse the decision to free John Worboys from prison.
John Worboys, a taxi driver who has drugged, sexually abused & raped over (OVER) 100 females between 2002 & 2008 is about to released from prison.
Those who commit crimes of opportunity are only ever sorry they got caught.
Reconsider and reverse the decision for the sake of the public.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This isn't something that the UK Government and Parliament can do.
Decisions about releasing prisoners into the community are taken by the Parole Board, which is independent. The Government and Parliament can't change the Parole Board's decision.
You can find out more about the Parole Board, and read its statement about this decision, here:

The Chair of the Justice Committee, the group of MPs that looks at the work of the Ministry of Justice, has said that he is going to recommend that the Committee asks the Chair of the Parole Board to give evidence about what has happened.
