Question:56 Mr. Sargent asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if he has made representations through diplomatic channels to help secure the immediate and unconditional release of Aziz al-Sayyid Jassem, a well-known Iraqi writer and journalist, who has been detained in Iraq for almost two years, allegedly because he refused to write articles supporting the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and about whom there has been no definite news since January 1992.
