Motion text

That this House mourns the death of Sarah Conlon; recalls the enormous burden of injustice and frustration which she had to bear as a result of the wrongful conviction of her son Gerry and husband Guiseppe; acknowledges the dignity and determination of her long campaign to assert their innocence; commends her consistent spirit of forgiveness and lack of bitterness which she consistently showed even when her ill husband suffered and died in jail; recognises that Prime Minister Tony Blair's clear statement of apology and exoneration to the Conlons, the Guildford Four and the Maguire family in 2005 brought considerable comfort to Sarah Conlon in her final years; and salutes the memory and example of a woman of remarkable faith, fortitude and forgiveness.
