Act now: Sign the petition to keep the UK in the ECHR

The politicians that misled the public and championed Brexit are now calling on the UK to withdraw from the European Court of Human Rights, the international court set up in the aftermath of the Second World War to protect people from tyranny.

Brexit is a calamity. It has damaged our economy, broken our politics, and made us weaker on the world stage, and now the people responsible for Brexit want to remove the UK from the European Court of Human Rights.

European Movement UK is calling on Rishi Sunak to commit to our membership of the European Court of Human Rights because it is the last line of defence of our rights and freedoms. Sign our petition now.
