"Question No 39 by Philip Claeys ()
During his recent trip to Turkey Commissioner Verheugen was confronted with complaints about cases of torture alleged to still be taking place in Turkish prisons. The human rights organisation Human Rights Watch also commented in a recent report that, whilst such practices have decreased in number, they still continue in Turkey.
At a press conference on 23 September Commissioner Verheugen announced that a group sent by the Commission to investigate had come to the conclusion that there were no grounds for accusing Turkey of systematic violation of the rights of prisoners.
Were the Commission observers able to visit prisons unannounced as they chose?
Does the Commission envisage sending observers regularly if the number of complaints does not fall"@en1
