The public prosecutor in Adana, Turkey, has requested the names and addresses of applicants to the Torture Treatment and Rehabilitation Center operated by the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey. The third trial against representatives of the foundation's Adana center took place on September 13,1996. A decision was not handed down and a new trial has been scheduled for November 8, 1996.
