Rejected petition UK government to cut ties with Russia over LGBT abuses.

In recent year's Putin introduced the anti gay law making it illegal for people of LGBT persuasion to express themselves due to them promoting the "gay lifestyle". I am urging the UK to cut all ties with the Russian government over issues such as trade.

More details

Recently media have reported that gay men in the Russian Federation country of Chechnya have been rounded up and taken to a concentration camp similar to that of Nazi Germany. Three people have reported to have died.

As a country with good human rights we cannot sit back and do nothing. If we show Russia we don't support things like this then that will hopefully send a powerful message.

Please show your support if you support LGBT and human rights.
