Foreign Secretary statement: Arrest of Alexey Navalny
The Foreign Secretary has responded to the arrest of Alexey Navalny by the Russian authorities
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab:
It is appalling that Alexey Navalny, the victim of a despicable crime, has been detained by Russian authorities. He must be immediately released.
Rather than persecuting Mr Navalny Russia should explain how a chemical weapon came to be used on Russian soil.
