Rejected petition: Compensate British Victims of Crimes by Those the State Invited In.
Rejected on
We call on the government to compensate British victims of murder, rape and serious violence by people the state invited into the UK. We also demand equal protection for all children and removal of ministerial immunity.
This means those granted entry through government policy, visas, asylum or resettlement despite public opposition. Victim compensation, or wergild, was British law for over a thousand years. The government spends tens of millions on private security for certain faith schools, yet equal protection for all children would cost a billion pounds. This shows the system is unequal and unfit. Claims would also force disclosure of blocked immigration crime figures.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, and how it would differ from current access to government-funded compensation.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) already exists. Claims can be made by victims of violent crime and qualifying relatives of those who have lost their lives. You can find out more here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/criminal-injuries-compensation-authority
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
