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
