MR GAFAR ALI HASSAN AND MRS ALI HASSAN

Early day motion 1284, tabled 31 March 2008 by Michael Clapham (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House is most concerned that Mr Gafar Ali Hassan and Mrs Ali Hassan who fled from Iraq to the UK in 2006 in fear of their lives have been told to prepare to return: considers that this decision fails to comprehend that Mr Hassan's Baa'th connections and rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Iraqi armed forces until 2000 make him a militia target; believes that if he were returned to Iraq there is a high risk of Mr Hassan being murdered; and calls on the Minister for Immigration and Asylum to intervene and give him and his wife the right to sanctuary until their well-being can be guaranteed.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
