I would like the death penalty brought back for treason, don't charge terrorists with terrorism, charge them with treason. I believe treason to be any attack on any member of the armed forces, politicians and the Police.

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.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action:
Hold a referendum on whether to reinstate the death penalty: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/602435
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to bring back the death penalty for specific offences, such as treason or terrorism, but decisions about what offences to prosecute a person for are a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
