Gay Pride Protests In Moscow (EDM1594)

Gay Pride Protests In Moscow

EDM number 1594 in 2008-09, proposed by Diane Abbott on 03/06/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Equality, Human rights and Russia.

That this House is concerned at reports that a gay pride rally in Moscow was violently ended by police officers; notes that the protest had been banned by city authorities on the grounds of preventing `moral degradation'; recognises the right to protest peacefully; further recognises that, whilst homosexuality is no longer illegal in Russia, there are no anti-discrimination or harassment laws to protect homosexual men or women; and calls on the Government to use its membership of the Council of Europe to press for an improvement to gay rights in Russia.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
