NEW EXECUTION DATE SET

October 17, 2006 12:00 AM

A new date for the execution of Leeds man Mirza Tahir Hussain has been set for November 1st, in just two weeks time.

Commenting Greg Mulholland, the family's constituency MP, said:

"Clearly the news that a new date of execution has been set is extremely shocking and disheartening, and I know that Mirza Tahir's family in Leeds are very distraught.

"It is difficult to see how what is supposed to be a forward thinking country can proceed with such a barbaric and inhumane action.

"President Musharraf must recognise what a travesty of justice this would be, and that only he has the power to stop it.

"I and everyone who has campaigned for Mirza Tahir will not stop, if anything we will try even harder. We will do absolutely everything that it is in our power to do to stop this unjust and atrocious sentence from being carried out."

    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.
