75th ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOLODOMOR IN UKRAINE

Early day motion 1693, tabled 4 June 2008 by Marsha Singh (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House notes that the British Association of Ukrainians is commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor in Ukraine; further notes that the Holodomor was the systematic starvation to death of at least 7,000,000 Ukrainians during 1932 and 1933 when the Soviet regime confiscated all food from Ukrainian villages; considers that this was an appalling act of inhumanity and an immense tragedy; further notes that this anniversary honours the memory of all the millions who died; and calls on the Government to officially recognise the Holodomor as an act of genocide.
