Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.
Libya
No one will be sorry to see the end of Gaddafi's criminal regime, which was deeply involved in international terrorism, but is there not some hypocrisy in all this? Is it not a fact that up to this year, Britain was selling the Gaddafi regime sniper rifles and crowd control equipment? Now we learn that there was a close collaboration between some western countries—not only Britain—and the Gaddafi regime, in which terror suspects were actually sent to Gaddafi's torture chamber.
