Boycott American companies until US ends inhumane treatment of refugee children

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The US is separating and punishing families: forcing children into caged camps, torturing parents by taking their children, and violating the human rights of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants into America. Please help stop - hit them where it hurts - boycott US trade and companies and tourism.

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 sounds like you are calling for people to take action rather than the UK Government or Parliament.

You might like to sign these petitions instead:

End US trade talks until human rights abuses of migrant children/ families cease

Put pressure on US to stop using refugee detention camps
