Rejected petition Increase funds towards supporting Amnesty International

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

According to Amnesty International's website, "To ensure our independence, we do not seek or accept money from governments or political parties for our work in documenting and campaigning against human rights abuses." It would seem from this that Amnesty International would not accept funding from the UK Government.

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