This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you're concerned about pornography which includes elements of torture. However the production or possession of such pornography could already be an offence under the Obscene Publications Act: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1964/74. It is therefore not clear what you would like the Government to do.
You could start a petition calling on publications featuring torture to be explicitly defined as "obscene" in the Obscene Publications Act, if that is something you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
