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.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
In any case, "holding people responsible" for deaths would be the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the the UK Parliament and Government.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
