answer text <p>I am concerned by reports of excessive use of force in protests, and reports of armed groups using violence. I condemn all acts of violence and call on all sides to show restraint. It is important that the Venezuelan government respects the right to protest peacefully and ensures public security. The Government has called for all sides to take steps to avoid confrontation, reduce tensions and to create the right conditions for genuine dialogue to take place.</p><p>My right hon. Friend the Member for East Devon (Hugo Swire MP) has written to the Venezuelan government emphasising the importance of respecting peaceful protest and the importance of dialogue to take place between the parties. He has offered the UK's assistance in the reconciliation process and asked to speak to his Venezuelan opposite number. The British Embassy in Caracas urges peaceful dialogue through its contacts with a range of actors in Venezuelan society.</p> more like this

answer text <p>I refer my honourable friend to the statement I made to the House on 8 April 2014, Offical Report, column 101. We are gravely concerned about the situation in Crimea and in the east of Ukraine where armed groups have seized government buildings in Donetsk, Kharkiv and Lugansk. There can be no justification for this action, which bears all the hallmarks of a Russian strategy to destabilise Ukraine. Russia should be clear that the deliberate escalation of this crisis will bring serious political and economic consequences.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We welcomed the recent consensus adoption at the Human Rights Council of both the European Union's regular resolution on ‘freedom of religion or belief' and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference's resolution on ‘religious intolerance'. This gives the international community a valuable starting point on which to base discussions on how best to implement these resolutions in practice. <br><br>Senior Minister of State, my noble Friend the right hon. Baroness Warsi, is leading an international initiative to build up greater political support for practical measures to combat religious intolerance and promote the social and economic benefits of religious pluralism.</p> more like this
