Milestones

We want the British public to have a say on whether the most serious child sexual abuse offences should be punishable by death or be tax-funded with life imprisonment.

We ask the Government to allow the British people to vote in a national referendum to reinstate the death penalty for child sexual abuse that leads to death or life-changing harm.
