answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>We encouraged the Turkish authorities to release the reports of the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture following their visit in 2016 to Imrali island where Abdullah Ocalan is being held. The Turkish government did so, along with their official response, in March 2018. Our Embassy in Ankara maintains regular contact with the People's Democratic Party (HDP) on a range of issues, including with respect to their support for improved prison conditions for Mr Ocalan. In request of hunger strikers in other prisons, we expect Turkey to meet their international commitments in relation to detention conditions, including providing access to appropriate medical treatment. We will continue to engage with the Turkish government on these issues.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/01/2019 15:22:41 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
