Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will make representations to the government of Turkey about the wounding and alleged torture by soldiers on 3 May of Nasir Taş, Ramazan Aktaş, Ismail Erebi, and Muhsin Çavişi, of Korgan village in Hakkari Province; and whether they will call for a full independent investigation.

We are aware of press reports of the alleged assault by Turkish military personnel on these four men in Hakkari Province. We regularly urge the Turkish authorities to respect the human rights of all civilians in the course of anti-terror operations in South-Eastern Turkey, and to support the rule of law.
