Quote

We are deeply concerned about the situation in Russia with regards to human rights. There are several examples of this situation, such as the new law requiring NGOs to register as foreign agents, the law banning homosexual propaganda, problems with the rule of law and arbitrary judicial processes, and court rulings against the opposition.
