Death Penalty In India (EDM631)

Death Penalty In India

EDM number 631 in 2002-03, proposed by Rob Marris on 30/01/2003.

That this House notes with dismay the death sentence passed in India on Professor Davinderpal Singh Bhullar, whom the German Appeal Court has subsequently declared should not have been deported from Germany; further notes that the conviction is based on a confession which the condemned man has retracted, as he says it was obtained after torture in India; and asks the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs promptly to communicate to the President of India the grave concern felt in the United Kingdom on this issue and to urge the President both to exercise clemency by commuting the sentence in this case and to demonstrate India's commitment to human rights by abolishing the death penalty.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
