To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have made representations to Turkey concerning the number of students currently imprisoned there.
The Government have not made specific representations to the Government of Turkey regarding the number of students imprisoned there. Our embassy in Ankara regularly raises issues relating to freedom of expression in the context of wider discussions on human rights with its Turkish counterparts and we work closely with other EU member states in addressing human rights issues in Turkey.
Our embassy in Ankara will continue to monitor the situation surrounding the imprisonment of students closely.
