Jeg vil ved denne lejlighed naturligvis også sige, at det ikke drejer sig om, at der efter vores mening er for mange politiske fanger. At der overhovedet findes politiske fanger i et af Den Europæiske Unions ansøgerlande, skal absolut kritiseres kraftigt.
May I also take this occasion to say that it is, of course, not only a matter of there being too many political prisoners - the fact that a country applying for membership of the European Union has any political prisoners at all merits outright condemnation - but that we are also aware of the way in which the existing prisons and the conditions that prevail within them have led to various criminal activities emanating from Turkish prisons.
