Hold the Syrian and Russian government to account for chemical attack

What the petition asks
The war in Syria has been ongoing for 6 years, and hundreds of thousands of innocents have been murdered. The mass slaughter of civilians must be halted immediately.
With the Trump administration cutting back on foreign aid, the people of Syria need our help. Too many lives have been lost, we are fed up of sitting back, feeling helpless about the situation. Silence is not an option, we need the UK government to protest this human rights violation and crime against humanity, peacefully. Russia, the Syrian government and America are killing people right under our noses and silence is not an option. Your religion or ideology is irrelevant. Do the right thing.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
