Religious Oppression Of Women In Jammu And Kashmir

EDM number 974 in 2002-03, proposed by Ann Cryer on 27/03/2003.

That this House expresses its deep sense of outrage at the brutal beheading of three innocent Muslim girls and a Muslim woman in District Rajoum, Jammu and Kashmir by terrorist because they refused to wear a veil; is particularly aggrieved that women have been directed not to attend schools or colleges by religious fanatics, which harks back to the medieval attitudes of the Taliban in Afghanistan; and offers its full support to the government of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, who was elected in a free and fair election in October 2002 and is fully committed to equality of opportunity for all sections of Kashmiri society regardless of race, religion or gender.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
