Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their response to the "Urgent Action" notice from Amnesty International, on behalf of Mr Sirdar Tanis and Mr Ebubekir Deniz, arrested in Silopi on 25 January and since believed to have disappeared; and whether they will raise this matter with the government of Turkey. [HL701]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

We are very concerned about the apparent disappearance of Mr Tanis and Mr Deniz. The British Ambassador in Ankara raised our concerns at a senior level on 13 February.
