HOUSE OF COMMONS -- Transcript, Monday 31 October 2005)][ } {@} { ][( UNCORRECTED TRANSCRIPT OF ORAL EVIDENCE To be published as HC 561-ii HOUSE OF LORDS House of COMMONS MINUTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN BEFORE JOINT COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS COUNTER-TERRORISM POLICY AND HUMAN RIGHTS Monday 31 October 2005 MR LIVIO ZILLI, MR ERIC METCALFE, MR GARETH CROSSMAN, MR JAMES WELCH and MS ALEXANDRA MARKS PROFESSOR CLIVE WALKER MR ABDURAHMAN JAFAR Evidence heard in Public Questions 90 - 224 Q161 Lord Lester of Herne Hill: May I say I should have declared an interest in asking my questions. I represented once the People's Mujahideen of Iran, who I think do and did regard the need to kill some of the regime people as being a necessary inevitable way of overturning that regime. We are not talking here about war crimes or international crimes but just murder. Would you think that in an extreme situation, to go back to Lord Judd's questions, that there would be a need in a democracy like ours to allow an organisation like that to be putting forward the need to kill, to commit acts of murder, as the only way, as they see it, of changing the regime? I hope I am not inflaming them by saying this, but you get my point. Professor Walker: I do. |
