<p>The Government has consistently condemned Vladimir Kara-Murza's politically motivated
conviction and called for his release since his arrest. The Foreign Secretary met
Mr Kara-Murza's wife and mother on 1 March to discuss our approach. We continue to
raise his case with the Russian authorities at every available opportunity in London
and Moscow, and call for his immediate release on humanitarian grounds for urgent
medical treatment, including at ambassadorial-level, and in multilateral fora, most
recently at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and UN
Human Rights Council. Our sanctions are targeted, based on information from a range
of sources and we continue to keep them under review.</p>
