Motion Text

That this House notes the recent Appeal Court decision to free Joseph Curtin because of a procedural error at an Old Bailey trial; notes that Curtin was among a gang of 15 youths who attacked Ruhullah Aramesh, an African refugee, with iron bars, sticks and heavy plastic pipe, leading to Mr Aramesh's death two days later, with him having never regained consciousness; and would support any move for civil proceedings.
