What the petition asks
Help them either to move to a safe country urgently, or assist them to be moved back to their country of origin in order to survive, as they are held on the border like prisoners by border police waiting for them to die.
Refugees on the Poland/Belarus border are held like prisoners on the forest border starving, freezing, beaten daily, fearing being eaten by wild animals. The refugees are also killed by border police control and nobody takes responsibility. There are small children, women and men who are held in inhumane conditions, refused food, shelter, medication, also refused to be moved back to their country of origin.
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 understand that you are concerned about refugees on the Poland/ Belarus border, but we're not sure how you would like the Government to move and assist refugees. We can also only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are responsible for, and management of refugees outside of the UK is a matter for the countries the refugees are residing in.
You could start a petition asking the Government to offer asylum to a specific groups of people if that's something you'd like to happen. You'll need to be specific with who exactly you'd want to offer asylum to though.
