lpv:translated text	"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. We all know what a dark day it was for the whole of mankind when the Turkish military and police forces brutally invaded the prisons. They killed people. They fired on prisoners. They brutally attacked the families of political prisoners protesting outside the jails and likewise on hunger strike. I think that it is wrong that neither we nor the bureau have as yet protested against this situation in stronger, more categorical terms; our silence makes the whole of mankind feel that both the European Parliament and the European Union are accessories to this crime. So I ask, even now, that you raise your voice and make our sympathies known."@en1
