Rejected petition Help Release Otto Warmbier from North Korea.

Otto Warmbier, a 21 year-old college student from the USA, was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour for allegedly stealing a Political Poster in a hotel he was staying in. I don't need to state how ridiculous this was, but please sign and share this to bring attention to it. Thank You.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The UK Government does not have the power to release Otto Warmbier. You could start a petition calling on the UK Government to urge North Korea to release him.

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