The Issue

The recent proscription of the Palestine Action Group by the United Kingdom has raised significant concerns about the impact on the Isle of Man's autonomy and its treasured civil liberties. The Isle of Man, while a Crown Dependency, has its own legal and political self-governance. This imposition without the explicit consent from the Isle of Man's legislative bodies compromises the democratic principles that have been upheld for centuries.

Furthermore, this proscription may create a chilling effect on activism and political expression on the island. Activists and citizens alike might feel intimidated or restricted, fearing potential legal consequences for their involvement in legitimate protest.

We are calling on the Isle of Man government to oppose the extension of this UK proscription. By asserting its autonomy and protecting civil liberties, the island can continue to uphold its democratic values and ensure that its citizens' voices are not silenced by external pressures.

Support our call to action to defend the Isle of Man's independence and protect the rights of its citizens. Let's ensure our freedom to protest and express dissent without fear of unwarranted legal retribution. Sign this petition to urge the Isle of Man government to take a stand against the UK's encroachment on our rights and autonomy.
