Withdraw Pres Trump's UK invitation unless human rights abuses cease immediately
President Trump is scheduled to make a state visit to the UK in mid Jul 2018.
The US govt's at the US-Mexico border of separating children and parents of migrant families are unconscionable, violate human rights, and not supported by any constitution, law or scripture.
This is not a call for a blanket ban on the state visit.
This is a call for performing the UK's moral duty as a global superpower to hold its closest ally to account on shared values.
