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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what laws you'd like the Government or Parliament to change.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you could start a petition calling for the Government to apologise for the historic persecution of witches.
