New Amnesty International report might influence EU decision on Turkey

A new report from Amnesty International about torture in Turkey, released at the time when the Commission is preparing its progress report on Turkey, warns the EU that human rights reforms are not sufficient. Turkey has recently introduced new democratic reforms, including the abolishment of death penalty and more rights for prisoners in order to meet the EU's criteria for membership.
