Stop legal aid for terrorists not in the UK or jihadi brides

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Why should legal aid be given to a Bangladeshi in Syria who is an enemy of state?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the decision on whether to give legal aid is the responsibility of the Legal Aid Agency and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could sign this petition if you would like to prevent people who are found to be ISIS members from returning to the UK:

Ban all ISIS members from returning to UK
