Shooting Of Tibetans

EDM number 227 in 2006-07, proposed by Harry Cohen on 21/11/2006.

That this House strongly condemns the brutal and unlawful shooting by the Chinese People's Armed Police of a group of unarmed innocent civilian Tibetans fleeing Chinese occupied Tibet when crossing the border at the Nangpa La on 30th September 2006; notes that the incident resulted in the murder of a 17 year old nun, Kelsang Namtso, the subsequent death of one further Tibetan and the arrest of around 30 Tibetans including children under 10 years old; further notes that this act is in contravention of the United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials; and calls upon the Government to urge the Chinese government to conduct a full investigation into this incident and to ensure further that those responsible for any crimes committed are brought to justice, to give a formal assurance that such abhorrent and unacceptable acts will not happen again, to account for and release any Tibetans arrested as a result of this event and to confirm China's commitment to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

This motion has been signed by a total of 106 MPs.
