Bahrain Grand Prix (EDM1268)

Bahrain Grand Prix

EDM number 1268 in 2012-13, proposed by Katy Clark on 15/04/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights, Middle East and Sports.

That this House calls for a boycott of the forthcoming Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix on moral grounds, given the continued human rights abuses committed by the Bahrain government against its citizens as detailed by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other organisations; believes that if it went ahead, the race would be used by the Bahrain government to present a false image to the world; is concerned that the human rights situation has not improved since the 2012 race; notes that the Bahrain government has failed to implement reforms it pledged to enact in 2011; and further notes that the Bahrain government is keeping prominent human rights defenders and political activists behind bars and continues to suppress, injure and kill peaceful protestors with excessive tear gas and birdshot.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
