<p>We have regular discussions with the Turkish Government, including with the Turkish
Ambassador to the UK, about the situation in Turkey including on human and constitutional
rights. The amendments under law 7242 include provisions that are aimed both at lowering
the prison population generally and, in response to COVID-19, a temporary release
provision for convicts that are serving or have the right to serve time in a minimum
security institution and those under supervised release. We encourage Turkey to ensure
that these provisions are met.</p>
