Afghan Prisoners

EDM number 649 in 2001-02, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 14/01/2002.

That this House believes that all detainees and prisoners taken in the course of the conflict in Afghanistan should be treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention; notes that the hooding and chaining of prisoners prior to their removal to a US base in Guantanamo Bay to face special military tribunals has no basis in international law; and calls on the UK Government to dissociate itself from this process and reiterate the principle of the primacy of the Geneva Convention.

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