answer text: The FCO is aware of this report. Recommendation 1 calls for the UK government to support human rights defenders in Russia. I did just this in my statement last month on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) persecution in Chechnya. Recommendation 2 raises the important work of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Moscow Mechanism. We have led the way in issuing joint EU statements in the Council of Europe and OSCE following the release of the Mechanism's report. And on recommendation 5, I agree on the importance of calling on the Russian Government to investigate human rights abuses, and to end impunity for perpetrators. We have made such calls in a number of recent UK and multilateral statements.
