Mr Nick Ingram And The Death Penalty In The United States

EDM number 966 in 1994-95, proposed by Chris Mullin on 04/04/1995.

That this House, while acknowledging the barbarity of the crime committed by Mr Nick Ingram, calls on the State of Georgia to halt his proposed execution; does so, not because he is a British citizen, but because it believes that to keep a person under sentence of death for twelve years and then ritually to execute him by means of electrocution greatly exceeds in barbarity the crime he is alleged to have committed; notes that more than 3,000 American citizens are currently awaiting execution by gassing, electrocution or lethal injection; further notes that they have been waiting for up to 15 years; finally notes that these include a number who were juveniles at the time of their offence; believes that this constitutes degrading and inhumane punishment of the kind outlawed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and invites the Supreme Court to rule accordingly so that the United States can again hold up its head in the company of civilised nations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 77 MPs.
