Dear
I write to express my deep concern over the recent overturning of the murder conviction of Ali Umit Demir by the courts in Istanbul, Turkey.
Mr Demir was convicted for the murder of two innocent Leeds United Football fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight on the eve of the UEFAcup semi final in April 2000.
It is deeply disturbing that Galatasary who's fans have a long history of violence against visiting supporters and teams have continued to remian unpunished by the footballing powers and with this overturning of the conviction for murder it sends out completely the wrong message.
In the 1980s English clubs were banned from playing in Europe and rightly so after the tragedy at Heysel, It is time to put pressure on the footballing powers to ban Galatasary from european competitions untill their house is put in order. At present it is unsafe for any visiting supporters to go to Istanbul to watch a football game, to do so is to risk serious injury or even death.
I urge you as my MP to take this matter up at the highest levels to bring justice for Kevin and Chris and prevent any more needless murders.
Yours faithfully
send this to your mp |
