Rejected petition Help Afro-Caribbean people achieve safe passage into Poland from Ukraine.

Over the last 24 hours, harrowing footage has surfaced online of Afro-Caribbean being denied safe passage into Poland from Ukraine because of the colour of their skin. Everyone should be able to seek safe refuge regardless of race, religion, or gender.

More details

I urge the government to be a voice for the currently voiceless and to urge foreign ministers to encourage the safe passage of everyone who is currently fleeing a country under attack, regardless of their race, religion, or gender.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government or Parliament are not responsible for overseeing border arrangements for other countries. You could have a petition which urged international organisations to assist with safe passage for Afro-Caribbean people trying to leave Ukraine

We currently have two petitions open which you might like to sign:

Pressure all governments to assist migrants on Belarus/Poland border.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/600911

UN to provide safe evacuation routes from war zone in Ukraine
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/610069

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