lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Russia’s new legislation which bans the so-called promotion of untraditional sexual relations has unleashed a wave of reactionary anti-LGBTI violence. It is not that surprising, because that was precisely the point of the legislation: to send a clear message that the state condones violence against gay people. The results are available for all to see on YouTube, with far-right homophobic groups with disgusting names like ‘occupy paedophilia’ and ‘occupy gerontophilia’, torturing and beating up LGBTI people. Friends and comrades of my own in Russia, for example Igor Yasin from Socialist Resistance, have repeatedly been arrested by the authorities for taking part in LGBTI rallies and been beaten up by paramilitary thugs for speaking out against racism and for rights. This new law is part of a general clampdown on democratic rights, with the incredible 100-year ban on Pride taking place in Moscow, the disgraceful prison conditions that forced the Pussy Riot member into hunger strike, and the outrageous arrests of Greenpeace activists. As often happens, it is the LGBTI community that is on the frontline of oppression, and injury to one is an injury to all. All those who stand for democratic rights, who stand for workers’ rights, must take a clear stand against it."@en1
