Treatment Of British Citizens By Germany

EDM number 1478 in 1993-94, proposed by Alan Simpson on 07/07/1994.

That this House expresses its concern at the treatment of five British citizens by the German authorities at the German border with Belgium near Aachen on Saturday 25th June; notes that they were detained for four hours although their passports were in order and that none had violated any German law; believes that the action of the German authorities was in violation of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights which states that everyone has the right to freedom of expression and that this right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart informatin without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers; further believes that the action of the German authorities was linked to the German government's support for the repressive policies of the Turkish government towards the Kurds; and calls upon the Foreign Secretary to make a formal protest to the German government and to uphold the rights of British citizens.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
