Tim Farron tables Early Day Motion on LGBT Rights in Russia
Lib Dem party president Tim Farron MP has tabled an Early Day Motion in Parliament on LGBT rights in Russia. The MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale said, "As a long-time supporter of Amnesty International I believe human rights are inalienable and something we must protect and extend throughout the world. The recent laws passed in Russia are the equivalent of the awful section 28 laws we had in the UK. I hope the government will use every avenue of diplomatic pressure possible to make them drop these laws, this is an area we can take a stand and I hope we will."
