"Mr President, recently the Turkish army occupying the northern part of Cyprus has increased its attacks on press freedom. In the last two months, three TV teams of Greek Cypriot journalists were arrested, kept for several days in atrocious prison conditions and brought before a Turkish military court, accused of filming in a supposedly military area. The occupied town of Famagusta is arbitrarily regarded by the Turkish army as such an area. Having been found guilty in summary proceedings, the journalists were heavily fined. In a commendable gesture of solidarity, the fines were paid by Turkish Cypriot journalists who themselves suffer similar treatment by the Turkish army. I call upon you as the President of this House to express to the Turkish Government your deep concern and strong condemnation of these arrests, which constitute a blatant attempt to severely curtail freedom of expression in an EU Member State."@en1
