  Di Lello Finuoli (GUE/NGL).(IT) Mr President, three or four days ago, the Italian police handed over an Iraqi family to the liberal democrat government of Syria. The head of the family had been condemned to death 20 years ago for belonging to the organisation known as Muslim Brothers. We fear that the sentence might already have been carried out in Syria. This family was held at Malpensa airport for five days, was not allowed to have any contact with any other people and was then sent back to Syria without being informed of their right to apply for asylum. I call upon the European Parliament and its President to ask for more detailed information from the Italian Government.
