Reform UK Proposes Ending Kirpan Exemption After Southampton Tragedy

Following a fatal stabbing in Southampton, Reform UK has announced plans to end the legal exemption allowing Sikhs to carry a kirpan in public. The move comes after 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa used a 21cm ceremonial blade to kill 18-year-old Henry Nowak. Authorities also convicted Digwa’s mother for helping dispose of the weapon. Reform UK insists that, under their proposed law, only law enforcement would be allowed to carry bladed items publicly.
