lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, last year, the British Prime Minister made clear his support for gay rights when he said that African countries which persecute homosexuals will have their aid cut unless they stop punishing people in those relationships. The British International Development Secretary, Andrew Mitchell, subsequently carried out this threat and cut aid to Malawi by GBP 19 million after two gay men were sentenced to 14 days’ hard labour. This announcement caused quite a stir, and it is not yet clear that this will be a completely effective way of aiding human rights on the ground, but nevertheless it is the right thing. The point that my Prime Minister was trying to make is clear: imprisonment, corporal punishment and sexual violence, including the horrendous practice of corrective rape, are wholly unacceptable to all civilised peoples."@en1
