Petition: Say no to Military Conscription

On International Conscientious Objectors Day, we joined a coalition of Peace Organisations promoting a petition calling on the UK Government to:

• rule out any future introduction of conscription – mandatory national service or registration – in the UK.

• assert and uphold the rights of conscientious objectors, ensuring protection for those who refuse to participate in the armed forces.
