Women's Rights In Sudan (EDM1259)

Women's Rights In Sudan

EDM number 1259 in 2010-12, proposed by Katy Clark on 11/01/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Africa and Human rights.

That this House strongly condemns the abhorrent flogging of a woman in Sudan which has been widely circulated on the internet and in the media; expresses deep concern that 44 women and five men protesting at this barbaric act were arrested in Khartoum and that journalists attempting to report this event were obstructed in doing so; notes that these events highlight how the basic civil liberties and human rights enshrined in Sudan's national interim constitution and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement are being infringed in Sudan, particularly against women, with 43,000 public order charges against women occurring in Khartoum State alone in 2008; and calls on the Government to use its leverage to require Sudan to fulfil its international obligations and specific clauses regarding free speech and peaceful demonstration under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
