Imprisonment Of Frank Kakopa

EDM number 192 in 2007-08, proposed by Diane Abbott on 12/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Equality, Immigration and Racial discrimination.

That this House deplores the imprisonment of engineer Frank Kakopa in Belfast in 2005 on the mistaken grounds that he was an illegal immigrant; notes that the Equality Commission has condemned the imprisonment as unlawful and brought about purely on the grounds of Mr Kakopa's race; and congratulates the Commission on securing an out-of-court settlement and an apology for Mr Kakopa and his family from the Immigration Service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
