Make burning, desecration or harming religious books a specific criminal offence

Petition Details

We urge the government to act now and make the burning, desecration, or harming of religious books a criminal offense. Together, we can build a society that truly reflects the best of our multicultural heritage.

Additional Information

In our diverse and multicultural society, the UK prides itself on being a place where people of all faiths and beliefs can live together in peace and mutual respect. However, we believe that recent acts of burning, desecrating, or harming religious books have caused deep hurt, division, and tension within our communities. We think that these actions, often carried out by individuals or groups seeking to provoke outrage or gain attention, undermine the values of tolerance, harmony, and respect.
