RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN BURMA

Early day motion 2241, tabled 12 October 2011 by Tom Harris (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House warmly welcomes the release of political prisoners in Burma, particularly that of Zarganar, the comedian and film maker, who was originally sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment for alleged public order offences; and calls on the Burmese authorities to follow up this gesture with the further release of all prisoners of conscience and the introduction of genuine democratic reforms.
