CONVICTION OF IRA/SINN FEIN MEMBERS IN COLOMBIA

Early day motion 424, tabled 20 December 2004 by David Burnside (UUP). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes with concern the conviction of three members of IRA/Sinn Fein in Colombia for offences involving the training of FARC terrorists in acts of violence to be carried out against the legitimate Government of Colombia; urges that international governmental action should be co-ordinated to see that the Irish Republican terrorists should be extradited back to Colombia; and calls on the Government of the Irish Republic not to harbour or give political asylum to the three convicted IRA/Sinn Fein members under any circumstances, showing co-operation with the US and the UK in the international fight against terrorism.
