A general view taken 22 April 2004 shows deputies voting during a session of the European parliament in Strasbourg. The Council of Europe on Thursday asked Turkey to free human rights award winner Leyla Zana and three other Kurdish former lawmakers, a day after they were convicted in a retrial. Dutch Foreign Minister Bernard Bot, the chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, said Zana, Selim Sadak, Hatip Dicle and Orhan Dogan should be released pending the outcome of all appeal trials.
