§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether remand and convicted prisoners in Turkey are subjected to the same regime; and if so, whether that violates any international conventions, and which.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyWe understand conditions for remand and convicted prisoners in Turkey are the same. It is open to individuals to petition the European Commission of Human Rights directly where they consider that their detention conditions violate obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.
