Proceeding contribution from Gavin Shuker (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate, Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Extradition.
Extradition
I am extremely grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way and I too pay tribute to Babar Ahmad's constituency MP, our right hon. Friend the shadow Secretary of State for Justice. My hon. Friend mentioned that there were 140,000 signatures, and it would be easy to assume that many of the people who supported the petition came from one particular community—the British Muslim community; but is he aware, as I am, that many people across this country who do not come from that background are equally chilled by the experience of Babar Ahmad, particularly as he has been held for seven years?
