Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 29 October 2013 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
LGBT Community (Russia)
- Question
-
As the Minister knows, there is significant and growing concern in this country about violence in particular but also about the banning of certain publications, and about threats to remove children from LGBT couples. Will he consider raising the issue with the Council of Europe?
- Answer
-
We will certainly consider raising, at every possible opportunity, our concern both about Russian legislation on the matter and about what is, inevitably, anecdotal evidence of appalling attacks on individual LGBT Russian citizens and civil society organisations.
