Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government or Parliament can't change a sentence. Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.
Anyone can ask the Attorney General to review a sentence they think is too low, and only one person needs to ask for a sentence to be reviewed. You can find out how to do that here:
