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 do not have the power to start a criminal investigation. That would be a matter for the police.

We already have a petition calling for an independent inquiry, which you might like to sign instead:

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