Reform UK pledges to enact Equal Treatment Act

Reform UK is pledging to enact an "Equal Treatment Act" within the first 100 days of entering government.

This follows the release of the sickening body-cam footage of the handcuffing of Henry Nowak whilst he was bleeding to death and despite him telling police that he had been stabbed.

The Equal Treatment Act will overturn the progressive capture of policing and ensure equality before the law. We will do this by prohibiting Police Race Action Plans, eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, and ending the exemption for Sikhs to carry large bladed weapons.

Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's Shadow Home Secretary, said:

"The tragic death of Henry Nowak is a horrific example of two-tier policing in Britain. The accusation of racism was dealt with more seriously than the accusation of being stabbed.

"This is a direct result of police initiatives like the Hampshire Police Race Action Plan which trains officers to do this. A Reform government will pass an Equal Treatment Act, which will end two tier policing for good."
