§ MR. S. SMITH (Flintshire)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the remaining 58 Armenian prisoners at Angora were accused in the same way as Professors Thoumaian and Kayayan, by means of forged documents and false witnesses, and that their fate will be terrible unless influence is brought to bear on the Porte; and what stops Her Majesty's Government are taking to prevent this frightful abuse of justice?
§ *SIR E. GREYThe Turkish Government have promised to supply the proces-verbaux of the trials to Her 20 Majesty's Embassy at Constantinople, and until they are received I can express no further opinion on the matter.
*MR. GIBSON BOWLESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that large numbers of prisoners have been sent to Siberia without any documents, forged or otherwise; without any witnesses, false or otherwise; that their fate will be terrible; and what steps is he taking to prevent this frightful abuse of justice?
§ *SIR E. GREYI cannot answer that question. Doubtless the hon. Member has information at his own disposal which he thinks justifies him in putting the question.
