Rejected petition Stop the prosecution of Past and present military personnel

To stop the injustice of prosecution of military personnel while serving in her majesty’s armed services

This petition was rejected

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 decisions on whether to prosecute someone are taken by the Crown Prosecution Service, which is independent of the UK Government and Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for a new law to give soldiers immunity from prosecution for things they have done during their duties if that is something you would like to see happen.

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