Democratic Republic Of Congo (EDM926)

Democratic Republic Of Congo

EDM number 926 in 2006-07, proposed by Rudi Vis on 21/02/2007.

That this House believes that further deportations to the Democratic Republic of Congo should be suspended with immediate effect based on evidence that failed asylum seekers risk being subjected to serious mistreatment and imprisonment on return and that this amounts to a grave violation of their Article 3 human rights as provided for in the Geneva Convention; and that, in particular, the mass removal of Democratic Republic of Congo asylum seekers on 26th February 2007 on a specially chartered XL Airways flight should not be allowed to proceed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
