answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned by the dismissal of an appeal against the decision of Russia's Supreme Court to categorise the Jehovah's Witnesses as extremists. This ruling effectively criminalises the peaceful worship of some 175,000 Russian citizens and is at odds with the right to religious freedom which is enshrined in the Russian Constitution.</p><p>I issued a statement on 18 July expressing our concerns. We have raised this issue with the Russian Government and continue to call on them to uphold their commitment to this basic freedom in international fora, including in the Council of Europe.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/07/2017 15:57:06 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
