Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I am extremely grateful to the hon. Gentleman, in the circumstances, for his generosity. He will be aware that a significant number of people from Darfur are in this country seeking asylum or exceptional leave to remain. Would it not be an abomination if such people—in expressing support for the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army, or strong opposition to the Government of Sudan or the Arab militias—were held up as supporters of terrorism when what they really want is the opportunity to enjoy civil rights and to live in a free Darfur?
