Rejected petition Anti-Capital Punishment Petition

More details

This petition is a response to one started by blogger, Guido Fawkes, calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty in Britain.

The government is to adhere to all "all treaties and international commitments which may inhibit the ability of Parliament to restore capital punishment" and should maintain Britain's abolition and opposition to the death penalty.
