Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about legislation in other countries are a matter for the institutions of those countries, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Condemn ongoing human rights violations in Pakistan: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/638557

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to create an asylum scheme for Pakistan Christians, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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