This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We understand you're concerned about protests in Iraq but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition calling for a clear action that is the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. You'll ned to provide your full name or initial plus surname.

There's already a petition calling for the UK to exert pressure on Iraq over the issue. You might like to sign this petition. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
