Last week, I met with a representative of the Peoples' Democratic Party, HDP, to discuss the political repression the party is facing in Turkey as well as the Turkish Government's severe violation of international human rights law. I had planned to meet with HDP MP Faysal Sarıyıldız but he is currently stranded in Brussels because his passport was revoked by the Turkish authorities. Is the Minister aware of the case and the arrests of the 11 MPs from Mr. Sarıyıldız's party?
