lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Mr Behiç Aşçi is a Turkish lawyer who has been on hunger strike for 202 days and is now very close to death. Although not a prisoner himself, he is protesting against the inhuman action of Turkish authorities in subjecting mainly political prisoners to isolation in so-called F-type prisons. One hundred and twenty-two hunger strikers in such prisons have died so far, and yet the Turkish Government stubbornly refuses even to discuss the matter. Isolation, sometimes for years, is one of the worst forms of psychological torture and Turkish civil society, including the lawyers’ and doctors’ associations, have called for its abolition. I call upon you, Mr President, in the name of respect for human rights and in order to save Mr Aşçi’s life, to contact the Turkish Prime Minister urgently and stress to him that isolation in F-type prisons is incompatible with Turkey’s European aspirations and must cease forthwith."@en1
