lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the position taken by Mrs Morgantini and Mrs Uca on the situation in Turkey has our full backing. I should like to add that it is now ten months since political prisoners in Turkish prisons went on hunger strike in protest against the government's plans to keep them in tiny isolation cells. The toll to date is tragic: thirty-two young people have died on hunger strike and a further thirty-one were killed in last December's attack on the prisons by the Turkish authorities. The most recent victim was Hulya Simsek, who passed away on 31 August. She was the sixth relative of a political prisoner to die on hunger strike. On behalf of the Communist Party of Greece, I wish to use this platform to condemn the criminal indifference of the Turkish regime and the hypocrisy of those who, while battling for human rights, have not lifted a finger to put pressure on the Turkish government to stop this intransigence in the face of the prisoner's just demands and to respect human rights in general. They include the European Union, which has a particular responsibility now that Turkey is a candidate country. Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, indifference in the face of crime is tantamount to complicity."@en1
