Rejected petition Free Julian Assange and grant him diplomatic status so he can leave the UK

Julian Assange was dragged out the Embassy and put forcibly into the prison, only because he revealed the truth. The british people should stand for him and for the sake of justice, freedom of speech and truth. Lets work together to help Julian to be a free man again.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Deciding whether to release someone from prison is a decision for the courts, which are independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
