This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do. Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The UK has no formal extradition treaty with Pakistan, but Section 194 of the Extradition Act 2003 does allow special extradition arrangements in exceptional circumstances. However, under current law, an extradition process is initiated at the request of the government of the country in which the individual has been convicted of a crime.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

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