Good afternoon. Thank you very much for these very powerful presentations.
I think the committee has already demonstrated that it is very concerned about the human rights situation in Russia and elsewhere.
I would like to tackle an aspect that has not yet been addressed. I don't know whether Mr. Kara-Murza or Ms. Arno is in the best position to answer. It's about the rights of LGBTQ people.
We know the situation in Chechnya, which experienced a wave of repression, arrests, abductions, murders and torture in 2017. In 2019, there was a new wave that seems to have attracted little attention despite everything, but which still exists.
First, is Russia simply turning a blind eye to those acts, events and tragedies in Chechnya, or is it not in a position to do something about it?
Second, what is the human rights situation of the LGBTQ community in the rest of Russia? Are you seeing the same type of repression?
