EU: sanction the criminals

To the European Union, and all governments around the world :

As concerned citizens from around the world, we are deeply concerned with human rights abuses being committed across the globe -- from China’s Uighers to Saudi's bombing of Yemenis. We urge you to swiftly pass legislation which would sanction the world’s worst offenders. The era for allowing powerful officials and companies to commit horrific crimes with impunity is over.

EU: sanction the criminals
From Saudi Arabia’s sickening beheading of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, to South Sudan’s pocketing of millions of dollars meant to feed its starving population -- all over the world, human rights abusers are literally getting away with murder.

They think they’re untouchable -- but we have an incredible chance to prove them wrong.

Countries across Europe are considering a powerful new law that would hold human rights abusers to account with serious sanctions and travel bans. Many of these monsters stash their cash in Europe, do business there, even holiday in the South of France!

It’s time to hold them to account!

But with EU leadership about to change, there’s a danger the law could stall. We can’t let that happen -- so let’s welcome Europe’s new leaders with a giant people-powered call to pass the law, and bring a delegation of survivors from across the world to Europe!
