"Mr President, I shall begin by expressing my deep regret that President Putin reportedly signed a new bill yesterday to control non-governmental organisations, coinciding with the decision by the Ingush Supreme Court to deny authorisation to the UK charity
whose Moscow representative I spoke to this morning. This is an organisation that had been providing humanitarian aid to about 1 000 Chechen refugee children and shows what a crackdown that bill represents.
It is clearly incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights and it is essential that the European Union does not simply protest but takes action, including insisting that non-governmental organisations take part in the EU’s human rights consultation with Russia.
Instead, what we see appears to be an attempt at a military solution by Mr Putin, accompanied by flagrant abuses of human rights, including arbitrary detention, forced confessions and torture, and some 2 500 disappearances since 1999. President Putin calls neighbouring Dagestan a ‘mini Iraq on Russia’s doorstep’. We cannot allow things to progress in that way."@en1
