Remove right to bail for individuals charged with rape

Petition Details

We want individuals who are charged with rape to be remanded until their case is heard. The Government should remove their right to bail, to ensure that they cannot offend while awaiting trial.

Additional Information

There are substantial restrictions on the granting of bail to individuals charged with murder, but far less stringent restrictions on the granting of bail to individuals charged with rape. We want this to change, so that individuals charged with rape cannot be granted bail while they are awaiting trial.
