Town MP in Libya demand
Tuesday 1st September 2009, 10:23AM BST.
Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski has demanded a government minister meets the mother of murdered police officer Yvonne Fletcher to explain why her killer has not been secured under prisoner transfer deals with Libya.
Mr Kawczynski, who is chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Libya, has written an open letter to foreign secretary David Miliband to ask why, after 25 years, nothing has been done to get justice for Miss Fletcher’s family.
The policewoman was shot dead outside the Libyan embassy in London on April 17, 1984. She had been policing a small demonstration outside the building when a gunman opened fire.
Mr Kawczynski said he was outraged that her killer left the embassy under diplomatic immunity.
In the open letter to Mr Miliband, he says: “I am sure you will agree, that our country must send out an unequivocal message that any murder of a British police officer will lead to a determined resolve to bring their killers to justice, at any cost.”
