What the petition asks
It’s not right for such beautiful pieces to be away from their home.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The repatriation of an item from the collection of the British Museum is a matter for the Trustees of the British Museum, not the UK Government or Parliament.
