Organisers look ahead to protest tomorrow
Victims of sexual abuse carry a 'lifelong sentence', according to one of the people behind a planned protest.
A demonstration will be held outside Douglas courthouse at midday tomorrow (Friday, 28 August), campaigning for harsher sentences for paedophiles and those convicted of sexual assault.
It comes as new laws on sexual offences are set to be discussed by the Legislative Council and the House of Keys later this year.
Christine Urquhart says the protest is also a plea for better support for those affected:
