This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action:

Hold a referendum on whether to reinstate the death penalty: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/602435

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to bring back the death penalty for specific offences, such as treason or terrorism, but decisions about what offences to prosecute a person for are a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.

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