HUMAN RIGHTS IN BAHRAIN

Early day motion 901, tabled 19 December 2013 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 44 members.

That this House notes that despite the publication of the Bahrain Commission of Inquiry Report in 2011 which chronicled torture and extrajudicial killing regrets that many violations of human rights continue; is shocked that there are 3,000 political prisoners, children in detention, citizenship removed from activists and arbitrary arrests amongst the many violations of human rights independently reported; and calls on the Government to make the strongest possible representations to the government of Bahrain and to refuse all arms and crowd control equipment exports to Bahrain.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 10, Plaid Cymru 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1, Green 1, Respect 1.
