"Madam President, on 20 October, 200 political prisoners went on hunger strike, which they intend to see through to the bitter end, in protest against the Turkish Government's policy of using ‘white’ isolation cells in order to undermine morale and break down prisoners' resistance. A further 800 prisoners are on hunger strike in sympathy. The prisoners' mothers are also on hunger strike. Solidarity is being expressed in numerous countries. I, personally, was horrified by the murder of a sympathiser on hunger strike by a detachment of the Grey Wolves in Rotterdam a few days ago. I have also written to you on the subject, Madam President. I should like Parliament to protest to the Turkish Government through you, through its presidency, calling on it to stop this particularly inhumane practice and not to isolate political prisoners."@en1
