BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Early day motion 2970, tabled 17 April 2012 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House is astonished that the Bahrain Formula 1 race is going ahead despite huge concerns over abuse of human rights expressed by Amnesty International and others; notes that a trial is continuing of 52 medical professionals who tried to help victims of the suppression of protests; believes that the Formula 1 race will be used by the Bahrain government as an endorsement of its policies of suppression of dissent; and accordingly calls for its cancellation.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Green 1.
