Kurdish-Alevi Refugees Hunger Strike

EDM number 17 in 1992-93, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 06/05/1992.

That this House recognises the right of those fleeing political persecution to safety; further recognises their right to family re-union; notes that 62 Kurdish-Alevi asylum seekers who arrived in Britain in 1989 from Turkey have been on hunger strike since 1st May for the right of family re-union after the determination of their application; and accordingly calls upon the Home Secretary urgently to review these cases and bring an end to the misery of these divided families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
