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 repatriation of an item from a museum collection is a matter for the governing body of that museum, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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