British Hostages Held By Iraq (EDM222)

British Hostages Held By Iraq

EDM number 222 in 2002-03, proposed by Ann Clwyd on 27/11/2002.

That this House recognises the suffering and continuing trauma experienced by the thousands of British subjects who were taken hostage by the Iraqi regime in 1990; remembers that the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and former Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, among others, explicitly stated that these hostages were being held to prevent Her Majesty's Government from acting to liberate Kuwait; notes that such acts are contrary to the Geneva conventions and violate the Taking of Hostages Act 1982; believes that the perpetrators of these crimes should have been brought to justice by the international community; and urges the Attorney General to act upon the evidence presented to him by the Indict organisation within the powers available to him.

This motion has been signed by a total of 211 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
