Bangladesh And Threats To Democracy (EDM669)

Bangladesh And Threats To Democracy

EDM number 669 in 2014-15, proposed by John Hemming on 07/01/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Asia and International politics and government.

That this House regrets that the leader of the Bangladesh Opposition, Begum Khaleda Zia, has now been interned in her political office by armed police, that the television station ETV has been closed by the Bangladesh government, that there was an attack on the National Press Club, and that live ammunition has been fired at opposition demonstrations; believes that these actions are not the actions of a democratic government, but instead a government aiming to suppress any opposition; calls for the Bangladeshi government to enter into discussions with opposition groups towards having a further election on a free and fair basis; and calls for the UK Government to use its influence to ensure that Bangladesh moves back towards a society based upon democracy and the rule of law.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
