Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the joint statement by the ambassadors of Canada, France, Finland, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the United States of America, issued on 18 October, calling on the government of Turkey to release Osman Kavala.
We note the joint statement issued on 18 October by the ten Ambassadors calling for the release of Osman Kavala. We are concerned that Turkey has not yet complied with the European Court of Human Rights judgment concerning Osman Kavala. We will continue to raise his case with the Turkish Government and expect Turkey to fulfil its international legal obligations.
