Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

It's clear that you're concerned about the situation in Chechnya, but we're not sure what specific action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. In particular, we're not sure whether you'd like a debate about Chechnya or all countries that persecute LGBT people.

You might like to sign this petition instead:

British Government to condemn Chechnya's human rights abuses against LGBT people
