<p>British Embassy officials have attended Vladimir Kara-Murza's court hearings with
other international partners, the last hearing being 24 October. We remain vigilant
to attempts by the Russian government to exclude diplomats from future court hearings
following Mr Kara-Murza's additional treason charge. HMA Moscow raised the issue of
consular access with the Russian MFA. In May, the Foreign Secretary met Mr Kara-Murza's
wife, in his previous role as Minister for Europe, and emphasised his determination
to continue raising Mr Kara-Murza's case at multilateral fora, including the OSCE.
We note the Canadian government's sanctions relating to Mr Kara-Murza. We do not comment
on future sanctions designations.</p>
