Reinstate UK citizenship for Kurdish refugees.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to reinstate UK citizenship for Kurdish refugees who changed there details when they came to UK due to fear of persecution by Saddam's Iraq.

The refugees at the time feared repercussions on their family from the government of that time, so they changed names and date of birth in order not to be detected in this country. We want parliament to acknowledge this and return the passports of these British citizens who have integrated into this country for the past 15 years and more.
