Rejected petition Prosecute MPs for terrorism in Syria, as defined by the Act of Terrorism (2000).

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/11/section/1

Reading the definition as prescribed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, there is nothing to distinguish the current war in Syria from state sponsored terrorism.

We are a nation of law, and should act in accordance to what is written.

More details

The Syrian intervention satisfies all subsections of parts (1) (2) (3) (4) and (5) of section 1 - 'Terrorism: Interpretation", as found within the Act of Terrorism (2000).
It really would be hard to find an action that satisfies the criteria of terrorism, as defined by the UK, any better than the current war does.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government and Parliament don't make decisions about prosecutions. That's the role of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.

We have some petitions that you could sign which are against the military action in Syria; for example:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/113231
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/113064

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
