Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Black and other non-white residents fleeing Ukraine are being held in detention centres and in some cases not even allowed to leave by Ukrainian authorities. Once in Poland, Lithuania etc they are subjected to detention.
Because it is the right thing to do!

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 the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. We understand you're concerned about the treatment of non-white refugees from Ukraine in neighbouring European countries. However, the UK Government is not responsible for the treatment of refugees in those countries.

Petitions also need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
