The Government accuses the Kurdish Human Rights Project of seeking political gains by accusing the Turkish Government of violating the right of individual petition under Article 25 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and by 'putting forward unfounded allegations'. The Government states that authorities have simply tried to inform Şükran Aydın that such a medical examination is required by the Court 'in respect of the case which had been instigated by herself and for which criminal proceeding is continuing'.
