MURDER OF PIERRE GEMAYEL IN BEIRUT

Motion Text

That this House condemns the murder of the leading anti-Syrian Lebanese minister and Maronite Christian leader, Pierre Gemayel; notes that, following the murder of the country's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, this is not the first murder of a prominent supporter of a free democratic Lebanon; further notes that the UN recently implicated Syria in Rafik Hariri's death; and calls on Syria both to condemn all such violence against Lebanese democrats and politicians and to honour Lebanon's freedom.
