PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Turkey: Capital Punishment (15 November 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to the Turkish government on the death penalty.

Asked by:
Chris Elmore (Labour)

Answer

We regularly discuss a range of human rights issues with the Turkish Government including, where appropriate, the death penalty. Suggestions that the death penalty may be reinstated in Turkey are of serious concern. UK policy on the death penalty is very clear – we oppose it in all circumstances.
