Proceeding contribution from Kim Howells (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on International Tribunals (Sierra Leone) Bill [Lords].
International Tribunals (Sierra Leone) Bill [Lords]
I take it that the person who died, to whom the hon. Gentleman referred, is Samuel Hinga Norman. An autopsy has confirmed that Mr. Norman died of natural causes. The court has undertaken its own inquiry into the matter. I understand that he had been transferred to Senegal for medical treatment while on trial before the court. I should reiterate that we have full confidence in the court and its procedures, including the inquiry into the Norman death.
