I am a British Pakistani ex-Muslim. I have had to protect myself from threats of violence from my family who regard me as an apostate. Two of my friends were almost killed for leaving Islam. Please watch This http://youtu.be/5TFuBzu3nTQ Rules state UK Citizens can only sign this Petition. I need 10,000 signatures to qualify for Prime Minister Theresa May to see this petition. 100,000 signatures are required for this issue to be debated in Parliament. Sign this petition to defend the rights of people in the United Kingdom to change their religion or belief without fear of persecution from any opposing individual or community. I call upon the UK government to review existing police and local authority policies, procedures and officers' training in regards to victims of honour violence against ex-Muslims, and to help Dostana Ministries set up a hotline to record data on hate crimes against former Muslims by Muslims. There was a Government funded Muslim charity hotline "Tell Mama" ( Government funding was withdrawn due to fraudulent claims) which records attacks on Muslims but no such help for ex-Muslims attacked by Muslims. The government should launch an official Home Office enquiry into the situations facing victims of honour violence against ex-Muslims in the UK. How many are there? How are incidents of violence against apostates recorded? What support do the authorities give them? What are the UK governments’ policies to safeguard their legal standing with entitlement to protection from the state? How are communities giving support for alleged apostates being targeted for abuse and violence, being dealt with by authorities? It is time for the government to take action to protect religious freedom for those who want to leave Islam.
