Saturday's rape at the Turkish embassy in Warsaw remains unresolved

The Turkish embassy has failed to aid the Foreign Ministry with their investigation following a rape reported on Saturday, which allegedly took place in the vicinity of the embassy. The victim, rumored to be a Polish prostitute, claimed that she was raped by the embassy driver. Last weekend, Polish police could not question the suspect, as he is protected by diplomatic immunity. Although the Foreign Ministry has now received documentation from the police, no headway has been made, despite demands for the embassy to provide a full explanation. Yesterday, around 30 women from various women's organizations gathered in front of the embassy to protest. They demanded that the Turkish immediately deliver the perpetrator to the police to speed up the investigation process. ''We have gathered here, because this is where the criminal is,'said one of the protesters. The protest groups are sending official letters of complaint to both the Foreign Ministry and the Turkish embassy. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 4, Zycie, p. 5) M.D.K
