Prosecute MPs for terrorism in Syria, as defined by the Act of Terrorism (2000).
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/11/section/1
Reading the definition as prescribed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, there is nothing to distinguish the current war in Syria from state sponsored terrorism.
We are a nation of law, and should act in accordance to what is written.
The Syrian intervention satisfies all subsections of parts (1) (2) (3) (4) and (5) of section 1 - 'Terrorism: Interpretation", as found within the Act of Terrorism (2000).
It really would be hard to find an action that satisfies the criteria of terrorism, as defined by the UK, any better than the current war does.
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:
The Government and Parliament don't make decisions about prosecutions. That's the role of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
We have some petitions that you could sign which are against the military action in Syria; for example:
