Rejected petition Change the sentence for Anjem Choudry as 5 1/2 years is too lenient

This man has done his best to promote hatred toward British citizens, promoted a terrorist organisation and tried to recruit for a terrorist organisation. The sentence handed to him is too lenient and needs to be reconsidered. This man is a danger to the British people and national security

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament.

Anyone can ask the Attorney General to review a sentence they think is too low, and only one person needs to ask for a sentence to be reviewed. You can find out how to do that here:

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