Victor Jara Investigation

EDM number 1641 in 2007-08, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 22/05/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Crimes of violence, Human rights and Latin America.

That this House expresses its condemnation of the proposal in Chile to close the legal investigation into the murder of Victor Jara; notes that those who committed crimes in the former Chile Stadium should not enjoy impunity, since the stadium was under the control of the Chilean armed forces in the days following the military coup when these crimes were committed; and believes that the Chilean courts and Chilean government should now act to ensure that the armed forces hand over information which will enable the officers responsible for the crimes to be identiifed and facilitate the continuance of the investigation into this case which is symbolic both for Chile and the world.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
