Ceasefire In Sri Lanka

EDM number 398 in 2008-09, proposed by Keith Vaz on 12/01/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Asia and International politics and government.

That this House condemns the violent atrocities in Sri Lanka which have resulted in the deaths of so many civilians, including the shocking murder of Mr Lasantha Wickramatunga and the entrance of armed guards into the offices of the country's largest private television broadcaster; believes that such incidents are a direct attack on press freedom; and calls for the British Government to take urgent action to help secure an immediate ceasefire on the part of all included in these conflicts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 117 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
