ALLAN DAVIES

That this House is deeply concerned that, despite assurances by the Government that they would act if the human rights of a British subject were infringed overseas, including the infringement of the right to a fair trial under Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Rights, it has been decided not to give official support for the application of a pardon for Allan John Davies, a British subject serving life imprisonment for alleged drug offences in Thailand; and calls upon the Government to reconsider its position and support a citizen who has been subjected to unfair judicial proceedings overseas.
