This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition I would like the Human Rights Act 1998 to be revisited and restricted.
Many foreign criminals may be held for a year or more and considered for deportation however in many cases, they may stay in the United Kingdom as it may 'breach their human rights'. An example of this is the right to life the reasonable person would believe that everyone deserves the right to life.
More details
However, there are also many people who wouldn't believe that people are entitled to the right to live. An example of this is criminals such as paedophiles or murderers, why are they allowed to kill or rape and be allowed to live in an establishment which is typically better than most people who aren't in prisons. A prisoner has a cushioned life, they get experience whilst in prisons and they're given more meals than a person who has to work or are claiming allowances. This is just one example.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure what changes you'd like to the Human Rights Act.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
