*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- The 27 EU Heads of State/Government were due, Today in Brussels, to Debate and Decide on their common Anti-Virus Policy, at a Notoriously Crucial Moment, when a Bigger than expected Return of the Pandemic marked Not Only a "2nd Wave", but, often, Even  a Reversal of the situations in several Countries, with much More Infections than ever in the Past.

However, Astonishingly, they Spoke, mainly, in their Official Conclusions, Only for "Vaccines" (which seem, in fact, Delayed and/or with Security Problems), withOut Saying Nothing for Drugs to Cure, i.e. Therapies, (some of which, Already Exist, But are Scandalously Undermined) !

 eu_summit_conclusions_on_virus__vaccines__euc__eurofora_400

 

----------------------

- At an "Off the Record" Press Briefing for accredited Journalists, given by 2 EU Council's Senior Officers at the Eve of that EU Summit (14/10/2020), "Eurofora" asked to Raise a Critical Question.  It was meant to be about the Fact  that EU Council President Michel's Letter (Dated 13/10/2020) to EU Leaders  for the Summit's Agenda, Already, did Not Speak about Cures, Therapies, at all, But Only about Vaccines, repeatedly, (and the Same Strange attitude was strikingly Obvious Also at that Briefing, WithOut Any Explanation...

(+We had prepared, in Addition, also a 2nd Question, on Turkey, But Other Collegues, naturaly, raised something about that, Even if they did Not Cover the Key-Point that "Eurofora" intended to HighLight).

=> Suddenly, when the EU Council's Press Officer in charge Invites us to Speak, ...the Microphone at our Computer, apparently, does Not Work, so that Brussels, Exceptionaly, canNot Hear what is said from Strasbourg by Video-Conference (as usual) ! This is Repeated ...Three (3) Times, (as that EU Press Officer calls "Eurofora" Again and again, Also at 2 Other Occasions), Vainly, until Our Question has to be Droped.., (by what looks as a Sudden remote CyberAttack, as "Eurofora"'s Computer and Web Connections had been Working OK, Earlier, including at Previous Similar Video-Press Conferences with EUCO).

>>> This UnPrecedented Obstacle is so more Regretable that EU Council had Already Proven, Earlier, that it often Takes Seriously into Account, in on way or another, certain Useful and Pertinent Observations made by Journalists, if that may Help Ameliorate things...

F.ex., Recently, "Eurofora" had Raised 2 Topical Questions, on a Similar EUCO's Video-Press Briefing : (1) One on the Fact that the Latest Agenda Changes had Limited the EU - Turkey Issue into Only a "Working Diner", Contrary to EUCO's alleged Wish to hold a "Deep" and Thorough Discussion on that matter, (See: ...), and, (2) anOther, Challenging EU's real "Ambition" on Digitalisation, (See: ...). Afterwards, we were Glad to Learn that in Both these 2 Matters, Positive Changes had been Introduced by EUCO : (1) On the First, EUCO's President Michel Adapted the EU Summit's Ageda accordingly, by Starting much Earlier the Debate on Turkey (circa 4 p.m. at the Afternoon, instead of 8 p.m. in the Evening). (2) On the Second, as an EUCO Officer pointed out Later, Finaly, that EU Summit "Focused on Digitalisation", (i.e. Leaving the "Environment" component for a Next Summit).

-------------------------

+ But Now, on the Contrary, to Michel's Surprising Letter, and to "Eurofora"s Muzzling at the Press Briefing by a Cyber-Attack (Comp. concrete Facts cited Supra), is Added, also, a 3rd Exceptional Event, which Converges towards the Same Direction :

 

who_faulty_study_pub_against_virus_therapies_who__eurofora_400 

 

=> All out of a Sudden, after 6 Months of Dealing with it, it's Precisely on the Same Day with this EU Summit, due to Decide on EU's Policy against the Virus, that somebody inside the WHO, at nearby Geneva, chose to Publish a Report which Claims that ...All Available Drugs for Therapy would be ...Useless in efforts to Save Human Lives, (if not even Noxious) !

That Astonishing Claim Extended from "HCQ+" up to "Remdesivir", "Lopinavir", and "Interferon", etc., taken All Together... Since Lopinavir and Interferon, reportedly, had Not so Serious Ambitions, while Not Even Remdesivir's Backers didN't really Claim it Might Save Lives, (just that it Might, perhaps, Accelerate Health Restoration at the Beginning), then, it's Obvious that the Main Target was "HCQ+", whose Supporters Notoriously Argued about its alleged Life-Saving potential.

=> So, there, Once Again, it looks as if we were anew vis a vis some Familiar Shady Networks, steming from Outside of the EUCO, But Now Attempting to influence it, at this particularly Crucial Moment, when, following a Recent and Growing "Explosion" of Infections, More than Ever, EU Risks to Become again the Pandemic's World's Center...

>>> As a Cosequence, there are Many Legitimate Reasons to have DOUBTS vis a vis that so-called "Study", (from which Only a Partial and Preliminary Version was Published until Now, at a "Pre-Print" WebSite)  :

 - (1) - First of all, this is "Not a Study of WHO" at all !

WHO is a Global, International Organisation, with abut 192 Member Countries accross the World. But these Trials were made in a Group of Less than 30 Countries, which is Directed by a Committee composed of Rezpresentatives of 10 (Ten) Only Countries, (which have Not been Elected at all by the Total of WHO's 192 Members), i.e. a separate Tiny Minority !...   

Among those 10, the Most Influential looks to be France... I.e. the Country Not Only of President Macron (who has shown that he Accepts to Discuss, even personaly, such Issues), or of Professor Didier Raoult (a Famous and Experienced Pioneer of "HCQ+" Cure, HeadQuatred at Marseille), But Also, (and, Most of all, as far as Bureaucratic Relations wih WHO are concerned), of Controversial Health Minister Veran : A former Assistant of Pro-Genetic Manipulations on Human Embryos, even More Controversial "Socialist" Former Research Minister Fiorasso, (V., f.ex., inter alia, also : ..., etc), and, himself, Notoriously Harsh and Oppressive Adversary of "HcQ+" Cure, who has Prohibited Even to Medical Doctors to Prescribe "HCQ+" for themselves (sic !), Stopped Public Research on that Cure, Threatened to Probibit asap Even All Private, Independent Scientific Researches there (Many, then), and Pushed that WHO's Grouplet (Comp. Supra) to Stop also International Research on that Drug against the Virus, on Pretext, and Immediately after a "Bogus" Fake-Study, with More than +11 "Big Flaws", Initialy Denounced by "Eurofora"s Whistle-Blowing, soon Repercuted by Professor Raoult (thet we had Warned) and Soon +280 Medical Doctors from 5 Continents of the World, (etc), which Resulted into the Authors of that "Bogus Study" being Asked to Show and Prove their alleged Data, and, when they were Unable to do so, they were Obliged to "Retract" their Paper, (the WHO Also Lifting its Suspension of HCQ Trials), Concluding to the Famous, Most Important ever Scandal in Pseudo-"Scientific"  Medias of a corrupted Establishment, that many Named as "LANCET-GATE", just a few Months Ago... (See, f.ex.: ..., ..., ..., etc). Moreover, Veran has just Faced a "Police Search" in his Home, after Judges Opened an Investigation on Collective Criminal Law Complaints lodged by Many French People, Victims of COVID-19 recently.     

      + In Addition, France, (i.e., in real Practice : Mr. Veran's area, as far as Pseudo-"Medical" Bureaucracy is concerned), holds The Biggest Number of Researchers Associated at that WHO Grouplet's Controversial "Study", from Any Other among All the Countries involved...  And the Coordinating Head of that French Team, is someone from nearby "Lyon"'s Bio-Lab, of Highest "Bio-Security" (including "Bio-Warfare"), which has Helped Build ...China's "Wuhan" Bio-Lab : at the World-Famous Original Source of this Deadly Virus (of UnKnown yet Origin, that Several People, including even NOBEL Prize French Professor Montagnieux, Twice Elected former Iranian President Ahmadinejad, etc., think that it might Originate from a Labo...), and largely Engaged into various International Deals, particularly with USA's pro-"Socialist", Barack Hussein Obama-related, Big Bio-Tech Establishment, but Also with Australia, etc.

    >>> That Lyon-led French "Trials" including "HCQ+", had Already been Spoted as Designed in such a way that their Conclusions on "HCQ+" Cure, could not but be, Inevitably, "Catastrophic", (as several Scientists had Warned) !...

--------------------------------------    

    -(2)- In front of such Facts, it's even more Strange, AbNormal and Suspect, that this Who-covered Grouplet's Controversial "Study" does Not yet clearly Say WHO DID WHAT, i.e., particularly at Which Hospitals were EnTrusted the Most "HCQ+"-related Tests, etc.

    => Such Big and Surprizing Ommissions, and LACK OF TRANSPARENCY on several Crucial Medical DATA, (Including, f.ex., Most Patients' Health Conditions, the Ways in which they were treated at various Locations and/or periods of Time, etc), are, indeed, Excessive, Counter-Productive, and Blatatly Anti-Scientific, since, inter alia, they Practicaly Hinder any real Independent Check of their Veracity, Relevance and/or Adequacy !

    >>> When, f.ex., the Authors of such a Controversial "Study" Merely indicate that the Data on which their Claims are Based, result from Many Tiny drops Scattered around ..."405 Hospitals (sic !) in 30 Countries" (re-sic !!), where "11.266 Adults" were Treated against the Virus, How on Earth could Any Serious and Thorough, "Independent Review" be done, in real Practice, by "Peers", Other Scientists, responsible Politicians, the Medias, competent NGOs, affected Citizens, etc., and by the Society at large ?

    - While, as, f.ex., Professor Raoult recently pointed out, for such kind of cases of ill-treating "Big Data", it's "Not Enough" to "only say Whether a Patient took HCW+, or not", eventualy "its Dose" and "how Long", But it's often Important, Also, to know "the Follow-up of the Prescription", "the Moment when this was done", (compared to the Infection's Date), etc. + We should Also Add the "Precautions" taken, since Prof. Raoult obviously administers HCQ+ very Carefuly, to previously Checked Patients, as his Scientific Publications concretely show. (While, on the Contrary, this Controversial, Faulty "Study" speaks even about Deaths related to Heart Problems, withOut specifying if the Patients had been Checked, Beforehand, in order to attest whether they were in Shape to receive HCQ+, or not yet)... ++ Moreover, several Other Observers, Nowadays Criticizd that WHO-covered Controversial "Study" for Not Revealing most Patients' main Characteristics, pre-existing Conditions, etc.

---------------------------------------

    -(3)- The Total Numbers of Patients Tested in that Controversial "Study", reportedly were almost 3.000 for "Remdesivir", and almost 1.500 for "Lopinavir", as well as for "interferon". But, Curiously, Only ...Less than a Thousand, precisely 954, for "HCQ" !

=> Why so Few, specialy for "HCQ" ?

On the Contrary, Earlier, Both various Mainstream Medias, and several Scientific sources, had Often noted that Most current Trials, accross the World, were (by far) related to "HCQ"...

How to Explain that ? What Happened, meanwhile ? Is it, Perhaps, one of the Negative Consequences, (as even US White House's Press Spokesperson had Warned), of that Auful, entirely UnJustified and Scandalous "Scare" that those Unscrupulous Adversaries of "HCQ+" had Provoked themselves to Many People, When they had Grossly Slandered the "HCQ+" Cure, by Falsely Claiming, Even, that, Instead of Saving Human Lives, it would Kill them (sic !), by alleged "Negative Side Events", (that they were, in Fact, Unable to Prove : Comp. Supra) ?

>>> At any case, one thing goes for Sure : With Only about ...900 Patients reportedly Tested with "HCQ+" in that Controversial "Study", it Obviously is, Comparatively, ...Too Small in order to Credibly Contradict French Professor Raoult's Team's directly Opposite Findings, Published Earlier, Based on as Many as about ...3.500 Patients, (and, at anOther Publication, Later-on, More than +5.000, retrospectively), which Notoriously Conclude at a Landmark Rate of Survival !

The fact that the First Claim to have routinely Added a so-called "Control" Group, (where Patients do Not take Any "HCQ+" Cure), in Addition to inevitable Problems of Ethics, (particularly vis a vis a Life-Threatening Virus), is Not Enough in order to give thel a kind of "Truthfulness" uncontestable Proof, Since Various Other Studies, on whatever issues, using such Control Groups, Often give ...Different Conclusions, (as also Raoult pointed out).

=> Have, some Unscrupulous Ennemis of "HCQ+" Therapy, Now ...Fallen Victims of Their own Past Wrongdoings ?

--------------------------------

    -(4)- Both US President Don Trump, (and the North American, wider pro-HCQ+ Movement), as well as French Professor Didier Raoult (Completing with "Z" Later-on), have consistently and Clearly Stressed that, in fact, "HCQ" Against this Virus, should NOT be taken ALONE, BUT TOGETHER WITH "AZ" (Anti-Viral), and Even "Zinc" Vitamin (to Boost Natural Human Immune System), i.e. the famous "Z-Pack".

    >>> But, Nevertheless, Astonishingly, that Controversial, Faulty "Study", undertook the Heavy Responsibility, to Knowingly Restrict the Therapy for those Patients, to Only ...1/3 of the well-known, Full "HCQ+AZ+Zinc" Package, (i.e. giving them Only HCQ Alone, withOut Any "AZ", Neither "Zink" at all) !

    => This Big Fault is a Blatant Contempt vis a vis People's elementary Capacity to Understand things, Added to a Gross Disregard to Human Health and even Life...

--------------------

    - (5)- Last, but not least, the 1st DOSE of the Prescribed "HCQ+" Notoriously stands at about 500 mg at many USA Doctors using that Cure, or about 600 mg, according to French Prof. Raoult.

    But, for that Controversial Faulty "Study", made by a Small Loby Hidden inside the WHO, (Comp. Supra), that Dose is Placed so Excessively High, that they doN't Even Dare simply Show the Number Clearly !... On the Contrary, they ...Whisper a uselessly Complicated Verbal Formula; apparently in a desperate Attempt to, Eventualy, Confuse and/or Trick Readers, by letting them suppose that everything would be just Normal...

    Here it is :  

- "Hydroxychloroquine (oral) : Hour 0, four tablets; Hour 6, four tablets; Hour 12, begin two tablets twice daily for 10 days. Each tablet contained 200mg Hydroxychloroquine sulphate. (155mg base/tablet : a little-used alternative involved 155mg chloroquine base/tablet)".  [SIC !]

    => Did you get it ? ...4 Lines, withOut a Number !

    >>> In Fact, what they mean is Incredible  :

*** For the First Day their HCQ Dose is as High as .... 2.000 or 2.400 mg. (according to the Interpretation to give at that Bla-Bla), Instead of Just ...500 or 600 mg. for the Pro-HCQ camp (Comp. Supra), i.e. Higher than 4 Times More : X 400% !!!!????....

    For a Comparison : Recently, a Counter-Bolsonaro Technocrat made anOther "Bogus-Trial", inter alia, Using ...1.600 mg. of HCQ.

    >>> Immediately, the Pro-Bolsonaro Movement Denounced him as ..."Seeking to Kill" Innocent People, just in order to Snatch a few Votes by Fooling Naive or Ignorant Voters !

    => It's Easy to Imagine what it would Really Mean to Lurre Innocent Patients in order to make them Take, Not 1.600, But 2.000 or 2.400 mg. of HCQ, (Instead of the Normal 500 - 600 mg)...

    Probably, that's why that Controversial "Faulty Study" Claims, by its Graphics, that "HCQ+" Cure might, (according to its Fanaticaly Anti-HCQ Authors), practicaly, ...Kill More People, than the Virus (sic !),

    at the Same Time that Professor Raoult's Team revendicates, Thanks to "HCQ+" Cure, a Survival rate of ...99,5% !

-------------------------------------------------------

    >>> Neither EU Leaders, Nor Europea Citizens, their Health and Lives, should Not become Hostages, Traped by so Sly, Unacceptable Controversies, doubled with just anOther, "'Bogus" or so Grossly "Faulty Study", as those that we've Already seen, (Comp. Supra).

    => If (as Facts Strongly suggest) Such Scandalous Wrongdoings are really Behind the Latest EU Summit's Incredible Decision to Drop Any Mention to (in fact) Urgently Needed Therapies, Limiting itself Only to "Vaccines", as far as Europe's Anti-Virus' Policy is concerned, then, an Urgent Big Change is Obviously Necessary asap, (f.ex. with a New, Well Prepared EU Summit on a European Strategy against the Virus, etc).

    Vaccines seem More and More Delayed, and/or of UnCertain Security, (as, f.ex. UK's "AstroZeneca"'s Double recent Deaths and Blockades, abudantly show, on September and November 2020 : +UPDATED), while, on the Contrary, the Numbers of new, Massive Infections "Explose", particularly in Europe, (f.ex. in France, the UK, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Belgium, etc) Needing Urgent Medical Help, (as People reStart Dying Each Day), that Only Therapy Drugs could provide...

    And, indeed, it seems that an Important Potential Already Exists, in this Direction, in one way or another, (f.ex., for Prophylaxis, Mild Beginnings of Infections, or Serious Last Minute Interventions, Complementary functions, etc), either by Re-Purposed "Classic" Drugs, (such as "HCQ+", DexaMethaZone, anOther one just Announced at Lille/North France, etc), and/or by New such Drugs, (f.ex. Russia's "AviFavir", etc), while More may be, still, Invented, (by Astonishingly "Absent" Yet, but much Needed, Scientific/Technological Research), so that All those concrete Potentialities canNot be merely Ignored or Undemined, in front of the Urgency, no more !

People in Europe and the World expect from CoE to make a succes of its "Monitoring" for Human Rights and Democracy, despite difficulties, said Finland's President Tarja Halonen to "EuroFora" at a crucial moment for the mecanism built 15 years ago by the paneuropean organization which celebrates its 60th Anniversary in 2009.

Halonen, known as "Mother" of CoE's "Monitoring" mecanism, a long-time MEP and former Foreign Minister before becoming Finland's President, holds a long experience in the mattter, after also serving twice as CoE and EU Chairwoman in the past. That's why she is well placed to judge how CoE's "monitoring" should deal today with some crucial issues of importance both to CoE and to the EU.

The move came just a Month before a crucial, last visit to Turkey, scheduled for June, by the President of CoE''s "Monitoring" Committee, Ukranian MEP Serge Holovaty, to finalize his Report on Ankara, the CoE Member State with the longest Monitoring procedure. From its results depends its overall credibility.

This is a Test-case, because, in fact, it's in order to avoid Sanctions threatened against Turkey by a CoE's Assembly's April 1995 Resolution for grave Human Rights violations, Democracy gaps, the continuing Military Occupation in Cyprus, the unresolved Kurdish problem, Aegean differend with Greece, etc., that MEPs decided to create, for the 1st time on April 1996, a "Monitoring" proces, allegedly destinated to check, without excluding Countries who did not fulfill all CoE's standards.

In the Past, the obliged withdrawal of Greece's Military regime and of its "Civil" cover-up out of the CoE had helped bring back Democracy in 1974. But, on the contrary, since April 1996, the idea was to "monitor" Human Rights' respect while keeping most concerned Countries inside the CoE. After Turkey's oldest example, this was extended also to several former "Eastern" European Countries, even if CoE's Assembly has imposed to some of them (fex. Ukraine, Russia, etc., after Belarus, Serbia, etc) various "Sanctions", that Ankara always avoided. Curiously more succesful even than .. USA itself, (a CoE "Observer" since 1995), which has been at least threatened with sanctions some years ago..

EU-effects of CoE's Monitoring process became obvious between 2001-2008, since the "closure" of this procedure, when CoE felt that a Country had met most of its Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law obligations, (i.e. the "Copenhagen Criteria" for the EU), helped trigger Negotiations with the EU for "Accession" or other closer relations : This occured already before the 2004 and 2007 EU Enlargements to former "Eastern" European Countries, as well as for the commencement of "accession" negotiations with Croatia, and of "open-ended" negotiations with Turkey in 2005.

    But a stricking new development are Holovaty's recent findings that on core Human Rights issues as Torture and Freedom of Expression, Turkey, even "5 Years after" CoE closed its "Monitoring", back in 2004, inciting EU to start accession Negotiations in 2005, still presents grave problems.

    His findings are of crucial importance after a 2008 CoE Resolution called, "if need be", to "seriously consider the possibility of Re-Opening the Monitoring procedure for Turkey" : A move which might affect Ankara's controversial EU bid, since EU Accession Negotiations are based on the Hypothesis that the Candidate fullfils the "Copenhagen Criteria" (See above)..
-------------------------
    Holovaty expressed his will to check  "Matters still Outstanding" and  those that he "didn't have an opportunity to discuss" at an earlier visit this year, "in order to discuss the more complex issues in greater depth", at his forthcoming New Visit to Ankara, before the December 2009 EU Summit.  This is all based on the 2004 CoE Resolution which stresses that, CoE "will continue.. post-monitoring Dialogue with the Turkish authorities,...in addition to a 12-points list,..and on any Other Matter that might arise in connection with Turkey’s Obligations as a CoE member state".

    CoE's Resolution also asks  from Turkey "to secure the proper Implementation of Judgements, particularly in the Cyprus v. Turkey InterState case", of 2001, which concerns also the plight of many Hundreds of MISSING People. It adds Turkey's obligations to "execute" ECHR's Judgements in the Loizidou case,..and in particular adopt General Measures to avoid repetition or continuation of Violations found by the Court" to the detriment of Refugees.

    Nevertheless, Holovaty said to "EuroFora" that "MISSING" persons,"might be included" and cannot be excluded, but he has yet to examine the situation "to find out  which issues will be raised" to the Turkish Government.

    Therefore, "EuroFora" asked Halonen, as the Historic "Mother" of CoE's Monitoring mecanism, if she thought that, "whenever there are grave Human Rights Violations, as fex. "MISSING" persons, attested even by ECHR's judgements, they should be always checked by a Monitoring process. Or could they be forgotten ?"
    
     - "We (CoE) must be, at the same time, Fair, Realistic, but not in the mind that "now we have Forgotten", etc., replied to "EuroFora"'s question Halonen, speaking as a matter of general principle.

    - "When we think of those People that are suffering from the lack of Democracy, of Human Rights, and of the Rule of Law", "we should find a base on how to deal with the (Monitoring) system more rapidly"', she stressed.

    - "Sometimes it's very difficult to combine Transparency and Effectivenes together, particularly in this specific case", she went on to say. But, "I have not found a (CoE Member) Country who could be insensitive in this sens", Halonen answered concerning grave Human Rights violations attested by the ECHR.

    - "I have no ready-made answer. I have the expectations that you, in the CoE, will, step by step, find the different types of the monitoring systems."

    Also "because this is a part of the UN's Post-Conflict system, (fex. when it comes to Cyprus' MISSING persons), and it's a more Global system". So that, "If we make a succes in Europe, the others will follow", throughout the World.  "But they expect that we (Europe) are this opportunity, this Opportunity to make a Succes", Halonen concluded.

    In addition, she advised to extend CoE's Monitoring to all its 47 Member States, "because, as long as we hear that, all these monitoring systems are "OK for the neighbor, but not for me", "it's very difficult" to understand. Something which could make easier to Compare...

    Finnish MEP Jaako Laakso, former CoE Rapporteur on the Occupied Territories of Cyprus and one of the 5 Signatories of the Historic CoE's call to create the "MONITORING" mecanism since 1996, was more specific :  - "We (CoE Assembly) have to find a way for the issue of Cyprus' MISSING People to be better followed", he stressed, anouncing his intention to "speak to Mr. Holovaty" about that. "There might be also other ways", added Laakso.

    - The 2008 "Year had been a very Bad one for Turkey with regard to Human Rights in general, and Freedom of Expression in particular", denounced, meanwhile, Holovaty's preliminary Post-Monitoringh Draft Report by Holovaty, published by the CoE on April 2009.

    "Amnesty International believes that freedom of expression is not guaranteed given the various articles of the Criminal Code that restrict it. .. "For example, 1,300 Websites are said to have been closed down by the (Turkish) authorities in 2008" ! While "the new Turkish Criminal Code was used to bring a total of 1,072 proceedings between June 2005 and April 2008, and led to the conviction of 192 people", for expressing views. "Representatives of the Özgür Gündem newspaper, which specialises in Kurdish affairs, ..complained about Numerous Attacks on their Freedom of Expression ...as was everyone who advocated a settlement to the question by means other than the intervention of the army" "According to their figures, 19 Newspapers had been suspended 43 times between 4 August 2006 and 4 November 2008" !...

    Moreover, on 2008,  CoE's "Ministers adopted its 4rth Resolution on the execution of the judgments of the ECHR, ...and outstanding issues regarding 175 Judgements and decisions relating to Turkey delivered between 1996 and 2008...  concerning Deaths resulting from the excessive use of force by members of the Security forces, the failure to protect the right to life, the DIisappearance and/or death of individuals, Ill-Treatment and the Destruction of property". CoE's " Ministers urged the Turkish authorities ...to ensure that members of Security forces of all ranks can be prosecuted without administrative
authorisation" for "serious crimes". Holovaty reminded.

"Nonetheless", Holovaty heard anew of "Several cases of Violence committed last year (2008) by the (Turkish) security forces". Amnesty International speaks of Many Cases of ill-treatment and Torture in the prisons and by the police". "Including, fex."'the death of Engin Ceber, a young man of 29 who died on October 2008 as a result of the TORTURE allegedly inflicted on him by police officers, prison staff and members of the gendarmerie. He was part of a group of people arrested on September 2008 during a demonstration and Press Conference in Istanbul'. Proceedings against suspects are "on-going" in this case.

- " I therefore noted an Obvious Contradiction between the Government’s stated “zero tolerance” policy.... of Torture and other forms of ill-treatment, and the different testimonies given", denounced CoE's Rapporteur.  Turkish "authorities must make considerable efforts to guarantee that proper investigations are carried out into allegations of abuses by members of the security forces and that perpetrators are effectively punished" "In this respect, I have requested detailed Statistics on the number of Investigations, acquittals and convictions in cases involving allegations of abuse in order to show the positive impact of the measures taken to date", Holovaty said, repeating a permanently unsatisfied CoE's demand to Turkey since a Decade...

    - "The Political Crisis that shook the country in the spring of 2008 highlighted the Weaknesses of the (Turkish) Constitution", which comes from the Military regime of 1982, "and the Urgent Need of Reforms", stressed from the outset CoE's Rapporteur in 2009. In particular, "the ...Democratic functioning of state institutions, including the independence of the judicial system, are crucial", he observes.

    But, "the Electoral  system and the ways in which it is circumvented do not appear to give those elected complete Legitimacy, and tend to pervert the course of direct universal suffrage", denounces Holovaty, observing that, even 5 Years later, Turkey did not yet change the 10% nationwide Threshold for a party to take any seat, which is "far higher" than the "3%" maximum in Europe and already condemned as contrary to European Standards by the CoE.

    + Moreover, EU Parliament's 2009 Report on Turkey, drafted by Dutch MEP Ria Oomen-Ruijten and adopted in Strasbourg on March, expresses "Concern over the Failure of the (Turkish) Judiciary to prosecute cases of Torture and Ill-treatment, the Number of which is Growing". EU also "is concerned about continuing Hostility and Violence against Minorities" in Turkey. It also "calls on the Turkish Government to launch, as a matter of Priority, a Political Initiatve favouring a lasting Settlement of the Kurdish issue, (while "condemning violence.. and terrorist groups"). EU "regrets that No progress has been made on establishing full, systematic Civilian suprevisory functions over the (Turkish) Military".

    The final results of Holovaty's 2nd and last visit to Turkley will be known later this year, and, at any case, before EU's December 2009 Summit.

Polls

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?
