Closed petition Create an asylum scheme for LGBT+ Russians to seek asylum in the UK

We would like the Government to create a scheme which provides safe passage and asylum for Russia’s LGBT+ community, who we believe are all at serious risk following Russia adding the ‘international LGBT social movement’ to its list of extremist organisations.

More details

It has been reported that Russia is being accused of creating an electronic database to register & monitor LGBT+ individuals, effectively branding them as "extremists". We believe this could pave the way for widespread persecution. We believe the right to exist, to love, to be free, are not privileges, they are fundamental rights which need to be protected.
