Roger supports Balwant Singh Rajoana Campaign
Posted by Roger Godsiff, MP for Birmingham, Hall Green, at 13:58, Wed 5 September 2012:
Roger has signed EDM 391 and is supporting the campaign for mercy to be granted.
Early day motion 391 BALWANT SINGH RAJOANA
That this House welcomes the decision of Her Excellency President Patil of India to postpone the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana, and very much hopes that the process to execute him will not be re-started; considers the use of the death penalty to be a cruel and inhumane punishment; is encouraged to see both that there hasbeen a moratorium on theuse of the death penalty in India since 2004, and also that more countries are moving towards its abolition; believes that because of the strong ties between Britain and India it is suitable to express this request to the Indian Parliament; and hopes that the Indian Parliament will see fit to ask Her Excellency President Patil to exercise her prerogative of mercy on Balwant Singh Rajoana and all others on death row who face such an uncertain fate.

I hereby state I believe having read the accuseds crime that he should indeed be executed. He & his accomplice showed no humanity towards their victim. I also support the reintroduction of the death penalty in the UK. Terence costello

What about the occupation by the USA and UK on the pretext of preventing terrorism in other countries where large number of people have been killed? What about the Israel occupying Palestian land, what about USA and UK supposting and arming dictors in the Middle East? Why Bahrain issue has been ignoed? I could go on and on.
