Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Ken Purchase (Labour), on Monday, 10 December 2007, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 24 members in total.


ARREST AND DETENTION OF PARAMJIT SINGH IN THE PUNJAB

That this House notes the many and continuing representations to the Foreign Secretary made by British Sikhs on behalf of Paramjit Singh, a British citizen; notes that his detention in the Punjab has now continued for one year causing great concern for his safety; is dismayed that the Foreign Secretary has not given the same expeditious consideration to Paramjit's detention in a Punjab prison as he appears to have given to the plight of Ms Gibbons in a Sudanese prison; and, in the absence of the Punjab authorities providing any credible explanation for Paramjit's detention, calls on the Government to press for his immediate release.
