Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Sentencing is the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government and Parliament.

If you would like Parliament to change the law, so that there is a higher minimum sentence for crimes of this type, you could start a new petition calling for that.
