Fru formand, jeg tager ordet endnu en gang - jeg har gjort det tidligere, og jeg har gentagne gange stilet breve til Dem - for at betone det forhold, at hundredvis af politiske fanger i Tyrkiet, som lever under kummerlige forhold, siden den 20. oktober - i månedsvis - opretholder en sultestrejke. Nogle af dem er allerede døde for at forhindre, at Tyrkiets regering skal gennemføre sin plan om at lukke dem inde i hvide isolationsceller for at knække deres moral og modstand.
Madam President, I take the floor in order to point out yet again - having written to you repeatedly on the matter - that for months now, since 20 October in fact, hundreds of political prisoners living in wretched conditions in Turkey have been on hunger strike, which they intend to see through to the bitter end - some have in fact already died - in a bid to stop the Turkish Government from going ahead with its plan to lock them up in isolation cells in order to break their morale and their resistance.
