Stop The Proposed Major Overhauls of the Official Secrets Act
Stop The Proposed Major Overhauls of the Official Secrets Act
The Issue
The U.K. gov't have launched proposed law to prosecute foreign journalists and whistleblowers that say things the U.K. gov't doesn't like.
"Prosecutors NO LONGER HAVE TO PROVE damage to national security to secure a conviction for disclosure of classified information. Spies and civil servants to be allowed “TO SEEK AUTHORITY” to release confidential information."
This is Orwellian.
Completely designed to protect the state, perpetuating ignorance of the general public.
We cannot allow this authoritarian tyranny to occur, please sign.
