English term

soundly defeated

English to Arabic Social Sciences Government / Politics British Parliament / Britain
At that time of national panic and mourning, the proposal to detain terrorist suspects for up to 90 days was **soundly defeated** on the floor of parliament.

Dear colleagues,
I'm looking for a professional rendition for these collocated words.

P.S.
"That time" at the first line refers to "London subway bombings"
Thanks in advance :-)

Dear Mr. Saleh,

We must consider the subject before choosing an adjective, the subject here is the proposal to .................. Then, proposal means
اقتراح . مُقْتَرَح . عَرْض

So, the appropriate adjective will be as i mentioned above, i.e. أُجهض or أُبطل.

Thank you all,
