answer text <p>The words of the Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson) in Parliament on 11 November reflected overwhelming concern at Russia’s actions in Syria, which are contributing to the appalling humanitarian situation. The UK will continue to urge Russia to work with the international community to establish a credible ceasefire, and begin working for a political transition that represents the only long-term solution. There is of course a well-established right for citizens in the UK to conduct peaceful demonstrations on issues of concern. The UK is scrupulous about fully meeting and respecting its obligations under the Vienna Convention. We discuss these shared obligations with the Russian Government on a regular basis.</p> more like this
