<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. Our Ambassador in Moscow raised
the issue of consular access with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 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>
