Recognise the victims of terrorist acts during the two-minute silence
we are still engaged in a war on terror, so civilian victims of terrorist atrocities should be recognised as much as military casualties.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We cannot accept your petition as the issue it covers is not something that the UK Government or Parliament are responsible for.
Tradition and precedents, rather than the UK Government or Parliament, set out that Remembrance Sunday commemorates the contribution of all British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
If there is a specific action that you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take which is within their power, you could start a new petition asking specifically for that action. For example, you could ask the Government to create a national event that commemorates those who die in terrorist attacks.
