HC Deb 11 December 1991 vol 200 c968 10.53 pm
Mr. Terry Rooney (Bradford, North)

I wish to present a petition signed by about 2,055 residents of Bradford, North who originate from Kashmir and who still have relatives there concerning current injustices and human rights abuses. Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable House will condemn the systematic mass murders, torture, arson and rape by the Indian forces of occupation in Kashmir; promote international efforts to help refugees fleeing Kashmir and to relieve the hardship and suffering of the people who remain in the territory; demand that India permit Amnesty International and other international human rights agencies to enter Kashmir, with a view to investigating and reporting on human rights violations; and calls for the withdrawal of India's armed forces and their replacement by an interim United Nations Administration with the task of restoring law and order, and as soon as practicable, conducting the said plebiscite.

To lie upon the Table.
