ANKARA, Turkey, March 13 (UPI) -- Turkish officials say tests have found no trace of poison in Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party.
Justice Minister Cemil Cicek told a news conference the tests were done by three experienced doctors, Today's Zaman reported.
Ocalan's lawyers charged last week that he had been exposed to life-threatening poisons. Cicek accused them of playing politics.
"From now on, nobody should pursue such lies. No one should take such games seriously. Turkey is a state of law and Turkey has nothing to hide," Cicek said.
Ocalan is being held in a prison on an island in the Sea of Marmora.
His lawyers said that they will appeal for independent testing once they get the official report.
