HALABJA

Early day motion 1087, tabled 16 March 1998 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House records with horror the gas attacks on the people of Halabja on 17th March 1988; recalls the terrible suffering of thousands of people who died painfully from the aerial bombardment; recognises that the results are still with the Halabja people through cancers, birth abnormalities, deformities, pollution and poisoned land; calls upon Her Majesty's Government to support a World Health Organisation investigation into the need of the people and ensure they get the urgent medical help needed; and further calls upon the United Nations to release the names of all the companies who supplied the chemical agents to the Ba'ath regime.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
