Ceist:131 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the situation of the imprisoned Kurdish leader (details supplied) who was imprisoned by the Turkish authorities and sentenced to death in February 1999; if he has asked or will ask the Turkish authorities whether this person is still alive, as he has not been seen or heard from in approximately three months; if he is alive, if he has raised or will raise concerns regarding his conditions of detention; if the recent abolition of the death penalty will apply in his case; and the steps the Government has taken or will take, independently and with the other EU member States, to ensure this person's human rights are respected and not further violated by the Turkish Government.
