ENARIreland- Reform the Law on Racist Crime

Published: Thursday, February 09, 2012

Racism is criminal. We need legislation that deals with racist crime. We call on the Irish Government to Reform the Law Now.

I believe that the Irish Government should take immediate steps to reform the prosecution and sentencing of racist crime in Ireland. There is currently no provision within Irish legislation to deal with racist crime. It is at the discretion of judges to consider racist motive as a factor when determining a sentence in a case; these cases are treated like any other case. Making racism a crime sends the message that racism is not acceptable in Irish society and secures justice for victims.

So please join us in the petition and encourage others to sign up as well. When we get a significant number of signatories we'll list them here too.
