Rejected petition Jail time or harsh punishment for protesters that storm or disrupt businesses

Rejected on

With the rising protests from activists that are disrupting both small and big businesses alike a tough punishment should be inflicted on those that storm business or create blockades on both roads and entrances to establishments. This is angering the public and causing violent outbursts.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already Public Order offences under which protestors may be charged.

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