Rejected petition Re-initiation of the Death Penalty for the crime of rape.

More details

I am creating this e-petition to bring back the Death Penalty for the extremely serious crime of rape .

The Government should bring back the Death Penalty for people who have committed the serious of crime of rape and/or sexual assault.

I feel that many people will share this view (more than those who will disagree) and that this topic should be discussed within the House of Commons as the Death Penalty was effective when it was around before 1965.

This issue should be looked at and examined thoroughly because although many people have created similar petitions in the past, this petition is only specified for a certain serious crime and is therefore more likely to be considered within discussion at the House of Commons if this petition is successful.

This petition should not simply be overlooked and disregarded.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

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