	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned by ongoing reports of human rights abuses against the Crimean Tatar community. The Foreign Secretary has not made direct representations to the Russian Ambassador in London but has publicly condemned Russian human rights abuses in Crimea. Most recently, he co-signed an op-ed with EU partners on 27 February in which he criticised Russia's treatment of the Tatar community, and, in a statement to mark the fifth anniversary of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, condemned Russia's continued pattern of human rights violations in the peninsula and called for the release of all Ukrainian political prisoners being held by Russia. The UK supports the work of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, which works to reduce violations by strengthening the field presence of human rights monitors and reporting on the situation. In coordination with international partners, we continue to raise our concerns in international fora, including the UN, OSCE and NATO.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 02/04/2019 15:17:02 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK commends Malta for the swift action of its armed forces to the recent hijacking of ElHiblu 1 and for allowing the 108 rescued migrants to disembark. This latest incident highlights the desperation of these migrants and the urgent need to establish a more predictable voluntary relocation mechanism, as being discussed within the EU. An international response is required to effectively tackle irregular migration and to prevent any future occurrence of hijacking.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 02/04/2019 15:13:12 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
