Debate between Baroness Falkner of Margravine and Lord Spicer

Tuesday 10th February 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Spicer (Con)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Falkner of Margravine (LD)]

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that Russia’s disregard for international law, and disregard for the rule of law at home, can best be challenged through democracy and freedom within Russia? Is she aware of the anti-war rally on 1 March, organised by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Grigory Yavlinsky and Alexei Navalny, the champions of freedom and democracy in Russia? What talks are being held with civil society within Russia to try to bring about an end to the belligerence that Russia poses to its neighbours?
