A/HRC/28/47 penalizes acts of damage to places of worship, such as churches and mosques, and the property used in such places, and to cemeteries and the facilities and protective structures thereof. 81. Turkey cited a number of other laws and regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, language, sex, religion, political opinion, nationality or social origin. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 82. The United Kingdom outlined key legislation to protect victims and tackle offenders, including provisions setting out specific offences relating to stirring up hatred on the grounds of race, religion, belief and sexual orientation (under Part III and Part IIIA of the Public Order Act 1986 as amended); separate racially and religiously aggravated offences, which carry a higher maximum penalty than non-aggravated offences (under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998); and powers for the courts to increase the sentence of an offender convicted of a crime where hostility towards the victim is based on several grounds, to reflect the seriousness of hate crime (Criminal Justice Act 2003). 83. In March 2012, a cross-Government action plan was published in England to tackle hate crime, bringing together the work of a wide range of departments and agencies to: prevent hate crime; increase reporting and victims’ access to support; and improve the operational response to hate crimes. It includes specific work programmes to tackle antiSemitism and anti-Muslim hatred and actions to better engage with disabled and transgender persons, Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities and new migrants and to tackle racism, homophobia and transphobia in sports. 84. Recently, a review of actions to tackle hate crime was conducted. Close cooperation with a wide range of voluntary sector and community representatives, front-line organizations and the Government’s Independent Advisory Group on Hate Crime is ongoing, which provides insight into the day-to-day experience of hate crime. 85. In that context, one of the challenges that have continued to evolve is the task of removing hate material from mass media channels such as the Internet, while protecting freedom of expression. The Government is working with the police and the Independent Advisory Group on Hate Crime to build relationships with leading social media providers and to improve their response to offensive and illegal hate-related content online, including through support to the international working group of the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism, to find collaborative solutions to reduce the harm caused by hatred on the Internet. 86. With regard to anti-Muslim hatred, police forces across the country work together with Muslim communities and organizations to provide reassurance, security measures and safety advice. In some areas 24-hour police patrols are in place to safeguard high-profile premises. The United Kingdom outlined a number of projects under way, including: (a) the first cross-Government working group on anti-Muslim hatred; (b) the launch of Tell MAMA, the first third-party reporting service to record incidents and support victims of anti-Muslim hatred; (c) the hosting of the first Srebrenica Memorial Day in the United Kingdom; (d) support from the Department of Communities and Local Government for social media workshops aimed at countering hatred online in Birmingham and Leeds, following two initial workshops held in London and Manchester; and (e) a number of road shows held by the Department of Communities and Local Government around the United Kingdom in March and April 2014 to promote the work of integration and combat antiMuslim hatred, and to engage with the communities to find out what more the Government can do. 14
