HC Deb 22 July 1999 vol 335 c603W
Mr. Maples

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received on the number of Kosovar Albanians imprisoned in Serbia; and if he will make a statement. [91230]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

There have been unconfirmed reports of up to 5,000 people from Kosovo detained in Serbia. The ICRC has a list of around 2,000, and has visited over 300 prisoners in the past few days. I hope that Belgrade will co-operate fully with the ICRC and that any prisoners not legitimately held can be released immediately.
