Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the decision on whether to give legal aid is the responsibility of the Legal Aid Agency and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could sign this petition if you would like to prevent people who are found to be ISIS members from returning to the UK:
