United Kingdom ban the export of substances used in the United States to execute prisoners sentenced to death, according to the British Minister for Enterprise, Vince Cable. According to Liberal Democrat politician in a few days, the government will present to Parliament a bill prohibiting the export of pentobarbital, pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride.
"We are against the death penalty in all circumstances and it is absolutely clear that they should not use substances manufactured in the UK in lethal injections," said Cable, according to The Guardian. According to a parliamentary report published in February, British companies have been sold to the U.S.
since last summer sufficient substance for the implementation of a hundred death row. The Department of Enterprise last November imposed export controls to thiopental sodium, a substance used as an anesthetic, after it was discovered that a London-based company had sold the product to the prisons of the U.S.
states of Arizona and Georgia. The British charity Reprieve, which fights the death penalty worldwide, says the U.S. states that execute prisoners by lethal injection its now turning to a Danish company Lundbeck A / S, for pentobarbital. The Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lene Espersen, has said can not do anything against Ludbeck because it produces the substance in a plant that is in Kansas (USA).
