Bahrain Grand Prix And Human Rights

EDM number 2970 in 2010-12, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 17/04/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Human rights, International politics and government and Sports.

That this House is astonished that the Bahrain Formula 1 race is going ahead despite huge concerns over abuse of human rights expressed by Amnesty International and others; notes that a trial is continuing of 52 medical professionals who tried to help victims of the suppression of protests; believes that the Formula 1 race will be used by the Bahrain government as an endorsement of its policies of suppression of dissent; and accordingly calls for its cancellation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
