What the petition asks
To stop the injustice of prosecution of military personnel while serving in her majesty’s armed services
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 decisions on whether to prosecute someone are taken by the Crown Prosecution Service, which is independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling for a new law to give soldiers immunity from prosecution for things they have done during their duties if that is something you would like to see happen.
