answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>The UK consistently calls for Russia to comply fully with International Humanitarian Law, and the need to respect and protect medical personnel in all circumstances. Humanitarian organisations must be given full, safe and unhindered access to populations in need of assistance. No one should be punished for or prevented from providing essential medical treatment. In our public communications and statements we draw attention to Russia's actions in Ukraine, including arbitrary detentions of civilians. In March, the UK led a joint statement on behalf of 40 countries, which called on Russia to release everyone detained in contravention of international law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/07/2023 15:18:43 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what they consider may be effective means for securing the release of British citizen Mr Vladimir Kara-Murza, currently serving a 25-year prison sentence in Russia, following two previous attempts to poison him, whether by bi-lateral or multi-lateral action.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>Vladimir Kara-Murza's conviction stands contrary to Russia's international obligations on human rights and we call for his release. We continue to raise Mr Kara-Murza's case with the Russian authorities in London and Moscow at all appropriate opportunities, including summoning the Russian Ambassador to the FCDO on the day of sentencing. In April, we sanctioned five individuals related to Mr Kara-Murza's detention and treatment. We have also raised Mr Kara-Murza's case in multilateral fora, most recently in sessions of the UN Human Rights Council. We continue to review all available options to raise Mr Kara-Murza's case to hold Russia accountable.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/07/2023 15:16:29 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>The UK Government has a long-standing commitment to supporting prosperity, development, and stability in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We continue to monitor the security situation in eastern DRC closely and are deeply concerned by the grave humanitarian consequences. We are one of a few partners who have a permanent presence in Goma, despite the security challenges, and will continue to operate in the east to work with the Government and humanitarian partners. We regularly raise the conflict in eastern DRC with DRC, Rwanda and the region, where we urge all parties to deliver on their commitments, agreed through the Nairobi and Luanda processes, including the withdrawal by armed groups including M23. The UK firmly believes the regional Nairobi and Luanda diplomatic peace processes provide the best means by which to achieve a lasting peace in eastern DRC and offer them our full support. We will continue to work with members of the international community to bring an end to the violence.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/07/2023 15:44:09 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
