	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text The human rights situation in Crimea has deteriorated significantly since the Russia's illegal annexation. We are deeply concerned about the treatment of Crimean Tatars who face regular harassment including arrests, detentions, disappearances, threats to seize property, and restrictions on their rights of worship, assembly and expression, including a ban on the Mejlis council. We are aware of reports that 18 Crimean Tatars are currently held in Russian-run prisons and several more are under arrest for opposing the illegal annexation of Crimea. International human rights organisations such as the UN and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe are barred from entering Crimea. We continue to call on Russia to allow them immediate and unfettered access. answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 17/10/2016 16:20:22 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

The resolution includes a commitment to increase the number of international human rights experts in the Yemen Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) operation, making clear the independent mandate for OHCHR to conduct their own investigations. The resolution also maintains the technical cooperation programme for OHCHR to strengthen the National Commission in Yemen, which we believe will make a difference on the ground. We look forward to reports from the OHCHR next year.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/10/2016 16:50:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
