Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
In any case, we're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. The state already has powers to freeze assets under the Terrorist Asset Freezing etc. Act 2010, the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 and Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001.
You could start a new petition asking for the state's asset freezing powers to be extended, but you will need to specify what additional powers you would like to be granted by Parliament.
