We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Initiate a refugee program for persecuted health workers in Myanmar
The military coup in Myanmar has lead to violence against health professionals for treating civilians. Healthcare workers in Myanmar require our protection. The government should setup a refugee program for persecuted health workers that allows them to seek refuge in the UK.
More details
The persecution of healthcare workers in Myanmar is unacceptable. Healthcare workers should be allowed to provide treatment irrespective of their political status. If healthcare workers continue to be persecuted for performing their duties, then they should be able to seek safety in the UK via a formal refugee program supported and funded by HMG.
