ATTACKS IN EUROPEAN CITIES

Early day motion 953, tabled 13 January 2016 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes the appalling events over recent months in European cities, including Cologne, Stuttgart and Helsinki, where a series of attacks have taken place with women appearing to have been particularly singled out by many perpetrators; is concerned that media reports of these attacks initially were isolated and not proportionate to the extent of the violence; and, while not wishing to exacerbate the scale of the violence beyond the factual position, believes that mainstream media outlets should not seek to minimise the attacks.
