00:00 >>Mr. Ali Abbas (Belfast North) (Lab/Co-op) The whole House will join me in sending our
00:03 deepest condolences to the family of Alexei Navalny. He died for a cause to which he dedicated
00:09 his whole life—freedom—and to return home knowing that Putin had already tried to have
00:14 him killed was one of the most courageous acts of our time. Together with our allies,
00:19 we are considering all options to hold Russia and Putin to account, and this morning we
00:23 sanctioned those running the prison where Alexei Navalny's body still lies. This morning
00:28 I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this
00:32 House, I shall have further such meetings later today.
