Registration Of Political Parties In The Maldives

EDM number 508 in 2005-06, proposed by Mark Oaten on 05/07/2005.

That this House welcomes the registration of political parties in the Maldives on 27th June and expresses hope that this will allow meaningful and popular involvement in the continuing political and constitutional reforms; notes that an independent judiciary and a free and vibrant press are also critical aspects of a functioning democracy; calls upon the UK Government to urge speedy elections as the most appropriate means to bring about a representative government for the people of Maldives; and expresses concern at the disruption of British aid to the Maldives and continued reports of human rights abuse as well as the recent construction of large detention facilities and solitary confinement blocks on Himafushi island.

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