David Burrowes calls for Reform of Extradition Laws and Justice for Gary McKinnon.
With Gary in his 10th year of challenging his extradition, David called for reform of extradition laws. He said “Lessons need to be learned from Gary’s case. Court’s need to have greater oversight of cases so they can consider whether it is in the interests of justice to extradite a UK citizen. The Home Secretary also has an important role to safeguard human rights. I hope that Gary Mckinnon is the last living example of why the extradition laws were reformed not a dead example of why we failed UK citizens.”
I pay tribute to Gary McKinnon’s mother, Janis Sharp, who this week, quite properly, was awarded the Liberty “Close to Home” award for her passionate and sustained campaign for her son, and her campaign to reform extradition for the sake of other UK citizens. The Baker review made reference to Gary McKinnon’s case, but I believe it was misrepresented. The reality of the situation that he faces was not reflected in the somewhat dismissive, even cynical, comments about him. He has in effect been on bail for 10 years. That must be one of the most unwanted records for any British citizen in this country. Normally, we would only find such a situation under a despotic regime like Burma’s, not in Britain, the home of the rule of law.
David Burrowes MP speaks on Gary McKinnon in Parliament

As Gary McKinnon’s local MP, David Burrowes has been leading the campaign in Parliament to stop his extradition to the US.
For that we would like to congratulate him and hope that he can keep up the pressure on the government to bring Garys tortuous 10 years to an end.
