PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Joe Robinson (8 October 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Turkish counterpart on the imprisonment of Joe Robinson.

Asked by:
Rosie Duffield (Independent)

Answer

We are doing all we can to support Mr Robinson. I have raised his case with my counterpart, and also raised it with the Turkish Foreign Minister when I visited last year. Mr Robinson has also had consular support since his arrest. Consular staff visited Mr Robinson while he was in detention, to check on his welfare and arranged prison visits for his mother. We have continued to offer Mr Robinson consular support since his conditional release in November.
