lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I rise to ask you if you will join with me in expressing your concern to the Turkish judicial authorities about the delays in bringing to trial those persons involved in the affray that took place in Galatasaray, Turkey on the occasion of a football match with Leeds United in April 2000. This terrible event led to the murders of my constituents Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight. A local man, Ali Umit Demir, has now been convicted of these murders. However, he has appealed against the original sentence, and now, along with others involved in the original affray, is awaiting the start of a retrial. The preliminary retrial hearing has now been delayed twice, once in July and again in September of this year. The third date for the hearing has now been arranged for 11 December 2003. While I am very grateful for the interest, concern and assistance shown in this matter by the Turkish ambassador to the EU, Mr Oguz Demiralp, I would welcome the support of the President of Parliament in sending a letter to the Turkish judicial authorities seeking assurances that the legal proceedings will go ahead with no further delay. I am sure the President understands the distress the families of the murdered men are experiencing, caused by the lengthy and drawn-out proceedings for the retrial, which have only added to their original grief over this matter."@en1
