This petition is managed by Lawrence Davies (Equal Justice solicitors) on behalf of Lusamba Katalay, the husband of Belly Mujinga. Original petition 12/5/2020: This petition exists to help to find and bring to justice those responsible for the death of Belly Mujinga who died of COVID-19 two weeks after allegedly being assaulted at work by someone who said he had the virus. We believe that this cruel and senseless act of unprovoked violence ultimately likely led to her death at the hands of this relentless virus as well as the serious ill-health of her work colleague, Motolani, who was present with Belly at the time of the assault. We know how important employment is right now and most particularly the ability to be able to travel when necessary. Many essential workers rely heavily on public transportation to get to and from work, in particular trains, the tube and buses as they provide near 24/7 access to services we as a nation need most right now. These services are vital for essential workers whilst within this global pandemic. Whilst we are grateful for their continuous existence in this difficult time what we must not forget is that whilst we utilise them there are individuals on an alternative frontline, like Belly who ultimately risk their lives to keep these services running smoothly. Belly, her colleagues and her family deserve justice. There are serious questions that need answering and changes that must be implemented in order to prevent deaths like Belly’s happening again. Belly suffered from an underlying respiratory condition but despite telling her family she “was scared for her life”, Govia Thameslink Railways, her employer, decided this was not reasonable grounds to reduce her contact hours and allow her to work behind a protective screen, stop her working directly with passenger flow on Victoria’s concourse or provide her and her colleagues with adequate effective PPE. Govia Thameslink simply stated “PPE for our staff was not required”. The trade union, TSSA, reported the assault on Belly, namely being coughed and spat on at work, to the employer. PPE might have protected her. She should have been provided with it. This lack of protection is negligent and is a dangerous precedent that cannot be continued, the risk is simply too high. By signing this petition you are helping to call on Govia Thameslink to provide an explanation as to why Belly was still working in direct contact with general public passenger flow whilst as her employer, they were likely aware of just how serious the risk of exposure to COVID-19 was to her, as an individual with a respiratory underlying health condition. We must also know why staff members were not provided with adequate PPE whilst interacting with members of the public, as we may never unfortunately know if this could have saved Belly.  We also ask British Transport Police to swiftly seek to identify the individual who assaulted Belly so he can face legal repercussions. London Victoria is one of the busiest stations in London, and highly likely to still have a consistent public presence due to essential workers who commute into the city. Whether it be via independent investigation or CCTV it is imperative that this individual does not get away with assaulting a dedicated, selfless individual who was simply working to keep the nation moving in such a stressful time. Nobody deserves to be assaulted at work, your employer should protect you. It would be an injustice that an act of violence so spiteful and humiliating goes unnoticed or ignored legally. Belly was a vital essential worker but that was just her job. She was a mother, wife, sister and friend to many and her story is although upsetting, not likely individual in nature. If we are able to protect doctors and nurses we must seek to put measures in place to adequately protect those individuals that make their journeys to work where necessary, possible. All frontline workers within Transport for London and their umbrella companies should be recognised equally and PPE should be a necessity, not a luxury. UPDATE 22/10/2020: In light of new developments and the closing of the British Transport Police’s Case we are now calling for:  The Prime Minister to establish a public inquiry as to the circumstances that led to the death of Belly Mujinga, including the alleged covid coughing/spitting assaults on her and the extent to which her conditions of work at Govia Thameslink Railway contributed to her demise. More generally, it should examine whether the alleged inadequate health and safety work conditions that BAME/frontline workers like Belly have faced during the covid-19 pandemic, may have led to, or contributed to, the disproportionately high level of BAME deaths from covid.  For the Coroner to establish an Inquest as to the circumstances that caused the death of Belly Mujinga  We hope this will provide us with the answers into Belly’s death that we have so far been denied.

I have a dilemma. I have a cough. I’m a junior doctor, currently working in an emergency assessment unit. My cough is minor, and it’s March, so quite common to get a cough... but how do I know it’s not COVID-19? The truth is I don’t. So now I have to ask... do I stay off work for 7 days, leaving a shortfall of staff and putting further strain on the already strained NHS, when the likelihood is that I don’t actually have COVID-19? OR, do I go to work with my minor cough (as I would normally) and risk potentially spreading COVID-19 to all of the sicker patients I see on a daily basis?  This same dilemma is being faced by ALL NHS workers, including the cleaners (who are the unsung heroes in all of this!) Currently, tests are only being done on patients who require hospital admission. This virus will cause minor symptoms for most people, and relatively young and healthy staff are most likely to fall into that category. The issue is the patients we treat are not healthy, they are frail and vulnerable. Ask yourself this- if your loved one needs hospital care for a condition not related to Covid-19, would you want them to be treated by staff who are likely infected with it? If not, please help us out here. We WANT to stay in work. We are YOUR National Health Service. We are proud to serve but we need some common sense here... I am petitioning for prioritisation of testing for NHS staff... so that those who need to stay away do so, with a clear conscience, and those who can work can do so, with a clear conscience. 

This amazing motivational hero deserves to be awarded a knighthood. World War Two veteran Tom Moore who is walking 100 lengths of his back garden before his 100th birthday has already raised nearly £13 million for the NHS in just one week and the amount is still growing.  Tom Moore, stated the NHS have been ‘marvellous’ in helping him recover from both a hip replacement and skin cancer on his head over the last couple of years As a way of saying thank you, the former civil engineer has been doing daily laps of his 25-metre long garden, with the aim of walking 100 lengths by his 100th birthday on April 30. As a NHS midwife, I know how much his fundraising and support means on the ground. And how much it means to staff during this awful pandemic. He deserves to be knighted.

To lose a loved one is devastating. To lose a loved one to murder is horrific. To be denied their funeral causes unimaginable suffering. I have endured this nightmare for almost 28 years. Ian Simms is serving a life sentence (on overwhelming forensic evidence) for the murder of my daughter Helen McCourt, aged 22, on 9 February 1988, in Billinge, Lancs. For almost three decades Simms has refused to reveal the whereabouts of Helen’s body – denying us the chance to grant her the dignity of a funeral and resting place.The case made legal history as only the third ever UK murder trial without a body. Sadly, as killers go to ever-desperate lengths to hide evidence and evade justice such cases have become more common. Without stiffer penalties they will continue to rise. In January 2016 a Parole Board will decide on Simms’ application for freedom. As it currently stands, the English legal system does not require a convicted murderer (at the end of their determined tariff) to admit guilt or reveal the location of a victim’s remains before being released. If parole is granted, my hopes of finding my daughter may never be realised. No other family should live this ordeal.I, hereby, petition the Prime Minister Theresa May and Home Secretary Sajid Javid to acknowledge the pain and distress caused to the families of missing murder victims by: Denying parole to murderers for as long as they refuse to disclose the whereabouts of their victim’s remains Passing a full life tariff (denying parole or release) until the murderer discloses the location (and enables the recovery) of their victim’s remains Automatically applying the following rarely-used common law offences in murder trials without a body*; preventing the burial of a corpse and conspiracy to prevent the burial of a corpse, disposing of a corpse, obstructing a coroner (*as in the case of R v Hunter, 1974 (from Archbold, Criminal Pleading Evidence and Practice 2015) Denying a funeral is, surely, an infringement of basic human rights. Please support me. Picture by Chris Neill

The UK cannot support a continuous breach of human rights and supply the USA with tear gas, rubber bullets and riot shields that are being used against protestors. By continuing the sale of these items, the UK is choosing profit over human rights and is unacceptable. Government records show it grants export licences worth millions of pounds for the sale of anti-crowd gas, riot equipment and other small arms to the US – but the government’s own rules say such exports should not go ahead where they are likely to be used for “internal repression”. Oliver Feeley-Sprague, Amnesty International UK’s military, security and police programme director, said: “After the shocking images of the police and national guard using excessive force against Black Lives Matter protesters in Minneapolis, the UK should immediately freeze all policing and security equipment export licences to the US where there’s a clear risk of further misuse – something the UK is obliged to do under its own laws. “Given the evidence emerging from numerous US cities, there’s a very real risk of UK-manufactured tear gas or rubber bullets being used against George Floyd protesters in dangerous and highly inappropriate ways – something that ministers need to respond to.

I’m calling on the UK Government to give parents and guardians the option of not sending their children back to school if they reopen in June - as Boris Johnson has suggested this could happen in England. As a mum I don’t want to face serious repercussions for making a choice I feel affects the safety of my daughter during a global pandemic. The UK now has the highest death toll in Europe and second highest in the world. Many of us have lost confidence in the Government's handling of this crisis and feel it is too early to return children to schools. It seems it could pose risks not only to children but also teachers and those they live with - grandparents, parents and those underlying health conditions. So far there has been little assurance of what measures will be made to protect people and manage these risks. Even drop-off and collection could increase risk of transmission among parents. We need the Government to be transparent with us and put things in place before we can consider placing our trust in this decision.   Parents should have a choice on whether or not they put their children in this scenario. Please help by signing this petition.

There are plans to start charging NHS staff to pay for parking at the place they work again, after the risks these people take every day this is an absolute travesty. NHS staff should not have to pay to park outside the hospitals they work in, they should not be a cash cow for private parking firms. NHS staff threatened with parking fines for parking at work should see their fines paid by our Government whilst you look at new legislation to make parking free for the whole of Britain. During the Covid-19 pandemic we've been clapping these people, now let's actually help them. Please remember to sign and share, thank you.

Canada | Brazil | France | Germany | Italy | UK | USA | Ireland | Japan | New Zealand | 繁體中文（港澳台）| 简体中文（大陆、新） We are Ali and Lucy Tabrizi, the directors of Seaspiracy. In our popular Netflix Original documentary, we chart our journey across the world as we uncover the horrors of the fishing industry - the most destructive industry in our oceans. We’ve both loved the ocean for as long as we can remember. The sea has given us so much joy and inspiration, and it was our dream to one day make a documentary about the wonders of marine life. But once we started filming and began to discover what was happening at sea, we knew the documentary needed to show this side of the story, that for so long has been mostly hidden from view. We witnessed horrific destruction, abuse, and corruption, and knew we had to expose how the global industrial fishing industries are killing our oceans, out of sight. We revealed a deafening silence over fishing’s role in emptying our seas, its decimation of habitat, and its role in affecting our climate.The UK Government needs to play a key role in saving our seas. There are currently only four ‘no-catch’ zones around the UK, and only 4% of UK waters have any protection at all. So we are asking George Eustice, the environment secretary, to create and enforce ‘no-catch’ marine reserves in at least 30% of UK waters. These no-catch zones will protect vulnerable wildlife whose populations are in a state of collapse, and will ensure these habitats have a chance of recovering. This must be a global effort, therefore we are asking world leaders to join forces and help protect at least 30% of our oceans by 2030. Why is this important? The fishing industry is by far the most destructive industry in our oceans. Here are just a few facts that we discovered while making Seaspiracy: Fishing has wiped out 90% of the world’s large fish (1) $35 Billion in subsidies goes to the fishing industry worldwide - paying for bigger ships, more fuel, fishing licences, and the capture of even more marine life. (2) Approx. 300,000 dolphins, whales, and porpoises are killed by fishing operations every year (3) Fishing kills up to 30,000 sharks EVERY HOUR (4) Lost fishing gear is by far the deadliest form of marine plastic (5) Unless we act now we will live to see the death of the oceans, and our children will never know the wonder and beauty of our once thriving blue planet. Seaspiracy has exposed the truth, but we can’t fix this on our own. Now we need action, and that’s where you come in. Together we can change this.  *Donations* to this petition go to change.org, not Seaspiracy.

Dear The Rt Hon Prime Minister Boris Johnson, The President of US Mr. Joe Biden, Mr. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, The Rt Hon Liz Truss MP (Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Affairs, First Secretary of State),  Rt Hon Minister of State (Minister for Asia) Amanda Milling MP, Council of the European Union, European Commission, European Parliament, We  urge  your urgent attention as our democratically elected leaders including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint along with senior government officials, and the  elected members of parliament have now been detained by the military. Please kindly assist our country by stopping this military coup as it is happening right now in Myanmar( Burma). Aung San Suu Kyi’s party won a landslide victory in the recent election (8th Nov 2020) and the new parliament is due to start in the next few hours in Myanmar. We need your urgent appropriate action in intervention to stop this military coup to protect the people of Myanmar (Burma) and the democratically elected NLD (National League for Democracy) government. Yours sincerely,  

Key workers have to brave the very thing everyone is sat at home isolating from. They go to work to help keep the economy from completely collapsing. Whether it's saving lives on the frontline, food and packaging, policing, looking after and caring for the elderly or less abled. If it wasn't for the key workers the whole country would be flat on it's face.  It's great people are standing and shouting from their doors to show appreciation for the key workers. But surely the country can do better as we all know a little extra in the pay packet goes a long way.  These people go to work to keep the country turning whilst everyone else can self isolate and get paid 80% of their wages. Show some love to the key workers and give them a bonus for the effort they put in.
