This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions about arrests and sentencing in individual cases are the responsibility of the police and the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for deciding whether someone has been wrongfully arrested. That would be a decision for a court to make. The courts are independent of the UK Government and Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking for a specific change in the contempt of court laws, if that's what you'd like to happen.
