answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2019 answer text <p>​The political and security situation in Honduras remains volatile. In April and May protests against proposed reforms to health and education funding in Tegucigalpa turned violent. The UK updated its travel advice accordingly. More widely, significant numbers of migrants continue to leave the country for the US via Mexico and high levels of intimidation and violence perpetrated against human rights defenders and journalists persist. We engage with the Honduran Government on these issues through its non-resident Embassy in Guatemala City and through its membership of the G16 group of donors, and work closely with civil society organisations in Tegucigalpa.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 21/06/2019 12:33:57 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2019 answer text <p>​The UK welcomes the dropping of charges against Russian investigative journalist Ivan Golunov. The Foreign Secretary and I publicly voiced our deep concern following Mr Golunov's arrest. We hope his release is indicative of a movement towards greater press freedom in Russia. However, we are concerned that over 500 people were detained in subsequent protests. We call on Russia to respect freedom of speech and expression, and will continue to defend media freedom. We prioritise the promotion and protection of human rights, and will make our concerns clear in bilateral interactions at all levels, where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 21/06/2019 12:27:38 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
