Take action to pressure Russia and support refugees over anti-LGBTQ+ measures

Petition Details

Russia’s supreme court ruled the ‘international LGBT movement’ as ‘extremist' in November 2023. We are concerned this is leading to the increased persecution of people suspected to be LGBTQ+.

Additional Information

We want the Government to take action to pressure Russia and support refugees over anti-LGBTQ+ measures.

We want the UK Government to:

- Offer automatic asylum and refugee status for any person escaping anti-LGBTQ+ measures in Russia
- Use its global influence to pressure the Russian government to abandon anti-LGBTQ+ measures
- Urge the United Nations and human rights organisations to intervene
- Impose sanctions on Russia until anti-LGBTQ+ measures are abandoned

An attack on human rights and the LGBTQ+ community anywhere is an attack on people everywhere.
