I thank my right hon. Friend for his statement, which is helpful. Can he confirm whether, when the two Lashkar-e-Taiba people were handed over, British forces knew or suspected that they would be held anywhere other than Iraq? Can he confirm that they were not subjected to water-boarding, because we...

On the potentially exculpatory material to which my right hon. Friend referred, would he at least go as far as to say, in general terms, whether it included evidence of torture? If so, that would fit the pattern of the cogent evidence that the Joint Committee on Human Rights received...

My hon. Friend might like also to pray in aid the evidence that the then Policing Minister, now the Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform, my right hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, East (Mr. McNulty), gave to my Committee, when he made it absolutely clear that, as far as...

I am grateful for the Minister's assurances. May we take it that soon after the review meeting in January, the Government will make a clear statement one way or the other about the conference, and that if the red lines are not met, we will withdraw from it?

The right hon. Gentleman said that when he spoke about the matter last year, the case against Mugabe was not at the level of a crime against humanity. Does he agree that the powerful case that he is now advancing suggests that it has reached that level? It has been...

It is a bit of a busman's holiday for me to speak in this debate, as I am Chairman of the Joint Committee on Human Rights. We obviously concentrate on human rights in the United Kingdom, but it can sometimes be frustrating for the Committee to see so many problems...

I do not wish to criticise your ruling, Mr. Key, but I refer you to paragraph 80 of the human rights annual report, which refers to Council of Europe matters. It does not deal specifically with Cyprus, but with some Council of Europe rulings on such matters. The European Court...

I was not aware of that, but the hon. Gentleman has made a very important and valid point. Let me turn to the reports from international non-governmental organisations. A few weeks ago, Amnesty said that the Sri Lankan Government must end their policy of blocking the humanitarian aid that is...

The Committee's report refers to the Government's report, which has been endorsed. In that context, I hope that you will allow me, Mr. Key, to refer to some of those ECHR cases. I shall refer more generally to those points, because those cases raise important issues, in relation to property...

Senator Dick Marty, the Council of Europe rapporteur on rendition, described a ““global spider's web”” of CIA detentions and renditions; clearly, we have been unwittingly drawn into that. Will my right hon. Friend look again at the evidence that the Government gave to the Joint Committee on Human Rights inquiry...

That this House notes the case of Jack E. Alderman, whose execution date has been set by the State of Georgia for Friday 19th October at 1900 hours; expresses concern that he has been on death row for 32 years; recognises that in 1993 the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council found that to keep a man facing execution over an extended period of time constituted an inhuman act; further notes that a number of states have halted executions pending the Supreme Court's consideration of whether lethal injections contradict the Eighth Amendment; urges the Governor of Georgia to intervene in Mr Alderman's case and suspend his execution pending the ruling of the Supreme Court; and applauds the work of the website Exonerate Jack in raising awareness of this case.

That this House expresses concern at the further escalation of extra-territorial legislation imposed by the United States on British businesses, most notably UK Hilton Hotels and Barclays Bank; notes the recent decision of the government of Austria to launch administrative proceedings against an Austrian bank for the violation of European Union rules after the bank cancelled Austrian held accounts of around 100 Cubans after being taken over by US investors; recognises the UK Government's unequivocal vote against any such extra-territorial measures at the United Nations General Assembly; and calls on the Government to make urgent representations to the relevant US authorities to cease the prosecution of such illegal trade measures.

That this House notes the case of Jack E. Alderman, who is due to be executed by the state of Georgia, USA, in May of this year; expresses concern that he has been on death row for 32 years; further notes that in 1993 the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council found that to keep a man facing the agony of execution over a long extended period of time constituted an inhuman act; and calls upon the Governor of Georgia to intervene and for people to raise awareness of the issue by visiting the Exonerate Jack website.

That this House regrets the decision of the Hilton Hotel Group to ban Cuban delegations from its global chain; expresses concern over remarks from a UK spokesperson for the Hilton Group that Cubans may be banned from their London hotels; recognises that any such developments would violate domestic UK anti-discrimination laws and EU safeguards against the use of extra-territorial legislation and would be tantamount to a breach of UK sovereignty as well as being an act of racial discrimination; calls upon the UK Government to issue a public statement of opposition to any attempts by the Hilton Group or any other US owned multi-national companies to enforce elements of the illegal US embargo of Cuba in the territory of the United Kingdom.

At the risk of the hon. and learned Gentleman being gratuitously rude to me, as he has been to other Labour Members, I shall put this point: on probable cause, is it not the case that before a federal warrant for extradition can be issued, probable cause must be shown...

One of the things that trouble me, and perhaps other Members, is the possibility of United Kingdom nationals who ought to be tried in the United Kingdom being extradited to America when there is a case that should be heard here. What discussions have the Minister and the Attorney-General had...

That this House notes the 20th anniversary of the imprisonment of Krishna Maharaj, the British national; recognises the unsatisfactory elements of his conviction for murder; welcomes the BBC Newsnight programmes examining his case; thanks the pro bono teams who have worked for justice in his cause; and anticipates fair consideration of the anticipated application for clemency now that the Supreme Court has rejected without reasons his appeal for a new trial.
