ROYAL VISIT TO PAKISTAN SHOULD BE CANCELLED IN WAKE OF IMPENDING EXECUTION

October 18, 2006 12:00 AM

It has emerged that the royal visit of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall to Pakistan will coincide with the date set for the execution of Mirza Tahir Hussain, the Leeds man on death row.

Leeds MP Greg Mulholland has written an urgent letter to His Royal Highness today urging him not to go ahead with the visit unless the execution is stopped.

Greg said: "For this unjust execution to go ahead anyway would be bad enough, but to do this when Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, is visiting the country would be monstrous.

"I would urge His Royal Highness to cancel his visit if this terrible miscarriage of justice, the state murder of a man from Leeds, is scheduled to go ahead at that time.

"Cancelling the visit will send a clear and powerful message to the Pakistani Authorities."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
