I am coming to the question.

The United States of America, which has brought in the law, has had retaliation already by way of the adoptees. Could Mr. Browder explain why, in all of those countries Mr. Browder listed that he visited and where the parliamentarians apparently acted, the governments seem not to have acted?

Mr. Browder was in Russia in the same period of the debate about the oligarchs and Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky. I do not want to mix Mr. Browder's case up with his except to state that it seems there is a climate in Russia and Mr. Browder's partner may not be the only victim of President Putin's policy.

Mr. Browder mentioned many countries and parliamentarians. He stated he brought in the legislation in the United States. Has any other country followed suit? Can he tell us whether, in this period, there has been a attack or orchestration against the oligarchs or investors such as Mr. Browder, including the Khodorkovsky case?
