Help Save the Human Rights Act

British rights and freedoms are under threat. The Human Rights Act1 protects your rights to privacy and to a fair trial. It bans torture, slavery and forced labour. It ensures we all have freedom of religion and expression.

And it empowers every individual to challenge the government in court to uphold their rights.

It’s a fundamentally good and liberal piece of legislation that has protected the rights of us all.

But hard-right politicians like Nigel Farage2 and the Conservatives are trying to scrap the Human Rights Act.

The Conservatives have repeatedly threatened to repeal the Act – and now they’ve launched a “review”3 of it.

That’s why we’re launching a campaign to save the Human Rights Act.

In early March, we’re submitting our response to the review – when we do, we want to show how many people want to defend their human rights.

Will you help us save the Human Rights Act, by adding your name to our petition?
