LORD GOLDSMITH'S CALL FOR GUANTANAMO BAY CLOSURE

EDM number 2180 in 2005-06, proposed by Diane Abbott on 16/05/2006.

That this House welcomes the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith's, call for the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison camp; applauds Lord Goldsmith for joining the UN and the EU in highlighting the injustice associated with this camp; notes that hundreds of individuals remain held in a legal black hole, many with no access to the courts, legal counsel or family visits; believes that Guantanamo Bay, rather than being `an anomaly', has become an endemic symbol of the injustice, abuse and hypocrisy of the US Administration's `war on terror'; and calls on the Government to listen to its most senior legal officer's recommendation and put pressure on its American ally to close these facilities as fast as humanly possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
