Case Of Mohamed Hassan Hamdan

EDM number 1856 in 2002-03, proposed by Lynne Jones on 03/11/2003.

That this House notes the penalty of cross amputation, involving the amputation of right hand and left foot, that has been imposed on Mohammed Hassan Hamdam, a 16 year old Sudanese boy convicted of armed robbery by an emergency court which does not meet basic fair trial standards; and calls for the sentence to be commuted in line with international human rights standards that have been ratified by Sudan.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
