Russia plays host to the Winter Olympics in 2014, Sochi. The law permits the detention of foreigners for up to 14 days and expulsion from the country for promoting the rights of the LGBT community.\r\n\r\nWe Believe:\r\nThe UK has to uphold the rights of individuals and maintain safety of athletes representing the nation abroad. We as a nation enjoy the continuing friendship and cooperation with Russia, but is simply too dangerous for us not to act.\r\n\r\nThe government should do the following:\r\n- Persuade the Russian government to suspend the law in lieu of the games and for its duration.\r\n- To petition the IOC to suspend Russia's future bids for game hosting until the law is revoked as they curtail the rights of participating LGBT athletes and their treatment.\r\n- To adequately inform LGBT athletes attending of the dangers and potential for harm they may come to if they participate.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-07-09T19:57:20.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:15.172Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:41:57.414Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-07-09T19:57:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
