"Mr President, the report contains information on talks with Russian and Chinese leaders regarding respect for human rights. Unfortunately, the information is not very specific. In the meantime, the conflict between the police and the army in Russia over organs belonging to Chechens continues. Chechens are being seized from their homes, and when all organs suitable for transplantation have been removed from their bodies, they are dumped.
In China, organs are taken from political prisoners. The Council of Europe issued statements on these cases earlier in the year. All our Parliament managed to do was dismantle a display illustrating crimes committed by Russia against the Chechen people. The display was taken down one evening because it was deemed too shocking. I should stress that it was the display that was considered too shocking, not the actions it illustrated.
How long will we condone genocide? I should like to ask for clarification as to whether the problem I have referred to was raised in the talks with Russia and China."@en1
