Afzal Guru (EDM1330)

Afzal Guru

EDM number 1330 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 23/04/2007.

That this House notes with concern that Afzal Guru, convicted of attacking the Indian parliament in December 2001, is facing the death penalty in India; notes that there are concerns and questions being raised by campaigning organisations regarding Afzal's trial and therefore the legitimacy of the verdict; further notes that there are claims that Afzal Guru was tortured by the police and security forces; believes that the death penalty is inhumane; and asks the President of India to intervene urgently to use his prerogative of mercy to revoke the death sentence and call an inquiry into Afzal Guru's conviction.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
