Political Repression In The Maldives

EDM number 675 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 05/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Arms control, Asia and International politics and government.

That this House condemns the selling of teargas, stun grenades and rubber bullets by the British company Survitec to the repressive Maldives police force; notes that the Maldives police force prevented the re-run of the presidential elections in that country in October 2013; further notes that the massive consignment was exported by a Singapore-based subsidiary of Survitec, thus escaping UK arms controls; and demands that the Government introduce legislative proposals to prevent the evasion of arms controls in this way by British companies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
