Iraq Executions (No. 2)

EDM number 624 in 1997-98, proposed by Ann Clwyd on 19/12/1997.

That this House notes with dismay reports that more than 800 prisoners from various Iraqi opposition groups have been executed by the Bagdad regime in recent weeks as part of a so-called prison cleansing scheme ordered by Qusay, Saddam Hussein's second son and head of the Special Security Organisation; and urges the United Nations to set up a permanent international criminal court to try Saddam Hussein and his closest associates on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
