Rejected petition I propose that we reinstate treason laws

I would like to see treasonous activity punishable by the most severe laws, like it used to be.

More details

It was a bad decision for treason laws to be removed. It has allowed many to act treasonously and not be held to account.

It’s one of the most serious crimes and should be enforced as so

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Treason is still a criminal offence.

Decisions over whether to proscute indivduals for treason or another offence are a matter for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service and not the UK Government or Parliament.

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