Abdullah Öcalan
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will call on the Council of Europe’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment to publish its findings regarding the solitary confinement of Mr Abdullah Öcalan in İmralı Prison arising from the Committee's visit to the prison during its visit to Turkey from 20 to 29 September 2022; and if not, why.
- Answer
-
It is for State Parties to the Council of Europe Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment to authorise publication of reports from the Committee on the Prevention of torture (the Committee). The UK hopes that Turkey, in line with its good practice of usually allowing publication, permits the Committee to publish the report of its September 2022 visit.
