TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MURDERS OF CHRIS LOFTUS AND KEVIN SPEIGHT

That this House notes that 5 April 2010 marks the tenth anniversary of the murder of Leeds United fans Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight in Istanbul; further notes that the two fans were murdered while attending a football match between Leeds and Galatasaray and that they were not involved in any violence or disorder at the time; regrets that to date nobody has been imprisoned for these crimes; requests the Turkish authorities to ensure that the appeals of those convicted and still free should be expedited; regrets that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has not so far been successful in helping the families of the murdered men; calls on the Government to mark the tenth anniversary of the murders by intensifying pressure on the Turkish authorities to conclude the appeals; and believes that the families of the murdered men will have no rest until justice is seen to be done.
