Human rights violations.

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 this would be the responsibility of the countries concerned, and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for the UK Government to urge Commonwealth countries to end these laws if that is something you would like to see happen.
