Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jeremy Corbyn (Labour), on Monday, 15 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 47 members in total.


DEMONSTRATIONS AND GAZA

That this House acknowledges the right of the citizen to express lawful views about the unlawful acts of others at peaceful demonstrations; notes the disproportionate and unusually harsh sentences imposed on many young Muslims, most of exemplary character, who demonstrated against the Israeli attack on Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009; and calls for an independent inquiry into the conduct of the police and public and the unwarranted collective conduct of the courts relevant to these demonstrations.
