That this House notes with deep sadness the passing on 1 September 2025 of Maggie Bowden, Joint President and long-serving former General Secretary of Liberation; pays tribute to her three decades of tireless work as a true internationalist and fighter for peace, showing solidarity with peoples oppressed by neo-colonialism and despotic regimes across the world; recognises her role in bringing issues of justice and human rights before the UK Parliament and the United Nations Human Rights Council; further notes her kindness, generosity and humanity as attested to by all who worked with her; and sends its condolences to her family, friends and comrades, while affirming that her lifelong commitment to peace, justice and anti-imperialism will continue to inspire future generations.
