What the petition asks
Plane carrying Anti-Pakistan banners fly over Headingley cricket ground in Leeds while Pakistan was playing a Cricket match against Afghanistan. The plane unfurled banners in the sky bearing slogans 'Justice for Balochistan' and 'Help end enforced disappearances in Pakistan'.
Sporting events should not be used to stage political slogans.
Balochistan is an undisputed part of Pakistan, and the separatists should not be allowed to spread the idea of Breaking Pakistan.
It's not Freedom of Expression it's Hate Speech and it should not be allowed in the UK.
We demand the government to investigate this and prosecute those involved.

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 it's not the UK Government or Parliament's responsibility to decide whether to prosecute someone. The police decide whether a crime has been committed and the Crown Prosecution Service decide whether to prosecute. These decisions are taken independently of the Government and Parliament.
