HL Deb 20 January 1997 vol 577 cc39-40WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will be represented at the judicial investigation to be held on 6th February 1997 into the death on 8th January 1996 in Istanbul of the journalist Mr. Metin Goktepe, in which 48 policemen are alleged to have been involved.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The judicial investigation into Metin Goktepe's death is being held in Afyon, apparently for security reasons. We hope it will be possible for a British Embassy official to attend. We will continue to monitor this case closely.
