Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Andrew Selous (Conservative), on Thursday, 23 March 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 57 members in total.
Mr ABDUL RAHMAN
That this House expresses its profound concern that Mr Abdul Rahman is facing the death penalty in Afghanistan after being charged with converting from Islam to Christianity; calls on the Afghan government to respect both its own constitution which guarantees its citizens' rights to choose their own faith and the international human rights treaties, which also guarantee this right which Afghanistan has signed; and calls on the Government to make immediate representation to the Afghan government on this matter, given the UK's significant financial and military support for Afghanistan.
