Bring Justice for my father a British National murdered in Somalia.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

My father a British National was murdered on the 21st of September 2015 in Mogadishu, Somalia outside the presidential palace. The Somali Government failed to inform the British Government. I want the British Government to investigate my father's murder.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government is not responsible for the justice system in Somalia. It could not therefore bring justice for your father in the way you describe.

You could ask the UK Government to make representations to the Government in Somalia, asking for more information or for a full investigation.
