"Mr President, I am sorry to trouble you and the Members of this House again with an issue with which they are all too familiar – that of Chechnya. It would appear that there is no limit to the appalling nature of Russian policy in Chechnya. Seventeen members of the family of Umar Khanbiev, the Chechen Health Minister – who was received by our president, Mrs Fontaine, and by a number of group presidents and Members of this House – have been arrested, following speeches he had made, in this House and in various other forums, in favour of a political solution. I feel that Mr Putin, the President of a so-called democracy, has reacted in an absolutely disgraceful manner.
I hope, Mr President, that you can meet Mr Khanbiev tomorrow, when he comes to Parliament. I also hope that the numerous Members of this House who have already met him will wish to express their solidarity to him in person, tomorrow and on Wednesday. I feel that Parliament must persevere with the brave and laudable positions that it has already adopted on Chechnya. We cannot let Russia do what it is doing in Chechnya. It is totally unacceptable."@en1
