Lord Rea

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make inquiries and report on the whereabouts and welfare of Dr. Seyfettin Kizilkan, Chairman of the Diyarbakir Region of the Turkish Medical Association, who was detained recently on a charge of suspected PKK membership, a charge of which he was acquitted two years ago.

We have asked the Turkish authorities for information about Dr. Kizilkan. We understand he was arrested on 5th May and charged on 7th May with providing shelter for the PKK.
