Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 17 January 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations his Department has made to the Government of Turkey on its international obligations to maintain human rights.
We regularly raise human rights issues with the Turkish Government at all levels, including between the Prime Minister and President Erdoǧan. This includes both discussion of individual cases of concern, and the wider importance of guaranteeing fundamental rights for all citizens, notably freedom of expression and assembly. Our Embassy in Ankara has discussed such concerns with Turkish officials this January and we will continue to do so as necessary in the future.
