Detention Of Andargachew Tsege In Ethiopia

EDM number 245 in 2014-15, proposed by Alan Meale on 09/07/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Africa, Human rights and Prisons.

That this House is seriously concerned about the safety of Andargachew Tsege, a British citizen, who was detained and then abducted on 23 June 2014 by the Yemeni authorities while in transit through Sana'a airport on his way to Asmara, Eritrea; understands that he may have been extradited from that country to Ethiopia and since then has been denied consular access; believes that this UK citizen's life and well-being may be in danger during his period of illegal detention; and calls on the Government to insist on his immediate release and repatriation back to Britain at the earliest opportunity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
