We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Advise Her Majesty to revoke the KCB held by Robert Mugabe. More details
Submitted by Tomas Thurogood - Hyde – Deadline to sign up by: 19 December 2008 – Signatures: 400
We believe that it is only proper and consistent with Britain's position on the issue of Mugabe's tyranny in Zimbabwe that he be stripped of this award of chivalry, as advised by the UK Foreign Affairs Select Committee in 2003.
This would be in accordance with the 1847 statute allowing those "convicted of treason, cowardice, felony, or any infamous crime derogatory to his honour as a knight or gentleman... [to be] degraded from the Order by a special ordinance signed by the sovereign".
To have Robert Mugabe as a knight of our realm is a poor reflection on the award and this should not continue.
