What the petition asks

Since their formation in 1947, India and Pakistan have subjected their populations to widespread repressive and oppressive misgovernance, amounting to crimes against humanity and breaches of international human rights and self-determination.

This includes police torture (with four civilians killed every day); genocide (e.g. Panjaab and Dheli and Gurjarat 2002); denial of self-determination and free referendums in Panjaab, Kashmir, Manipur, Tamilnadu, Baluchistan; intense persecution and violence on Dalits and Adivasis (with a Dalit killed every 20-minutes); and, massive oppression and violence on women, with a women being raped every 20 minutes.

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 understand you're concerned about the situation in India and Pakistan but we're not sure exactly what you want the UK Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do, for example calling for the Government to exert diplomatic pressure on India and Pakistan to uphold human rights and grant self-determination to particular regions.
