EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS

Early day motion 2203, tabled 10 October 2011 by Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 25 members.

That this House condemns the execution of Troy Davis by the State of Georgia on 21 September 2011; expresses grave concern that the execution went ahead despite a widespread lack of confidence in the trial following the recantation of evidence by a majority of witnesses; believes that capital punishment is fundamentally wrong; calls on the Government to condemn his execution; and further calls on the Government to play an active role in seeking to end the use of capital punishment in all countries in the future.
