Proceeding contribution from Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 April 2017. It occurred during Urgent question on Persecution and Detention of LGBT Citizens: Chechnya.
Persecution and Detention of LGBT Citizens: Chechnya
I pay tribute to the amazing work of Yorkshire MESMAC, which is based in Leeds and first brought these appalling abuses to my attention. The abuses are chilling, horrific and evil, but also a clear breach of international law. What discussions has the Minister had not only with EU partners but with the United Nations to look at an initiative to stamp out this appalling persecution, wherever it may happen?
