Shooting Of Us Peace Activist In Nablus

EDM number 970 in 2002-03, proposed by Richard Burden on 26/03/2003.

That this House registers its concern that on 20th March, Eric Hawanith, from Chicago, was shot in the chest by rubber bullets fired by Israeli security services in Nablus; notes that, following the death of Rachel Corrie under the wheels of an Israeli bulldozer, Mr Hawanith is the second US citizen in a week to have been injured by Israeli forces whilst protesting against the actions of the Israeli Government in the Occupied Territories; and calls on the USA both rapidly to publish the Quartet Roadmap for peace in the Middle East, and to take assertive action to achieve a just settlement, implementing UN resolutions, and respecting the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians to security and independent statehood.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
