West limits Russian diplomats' freedom of movement over vaccine discrimination: Moscow

Moscow, Nov 13 (UNI/Sputnik) Russian diplomats working in Western countries are facing curbs to their right to freedom of movement because of the coronavirus shot they used, the Russian Foreign Ministry's Commissioner for Human Rights Grigory Lukyantsev told reporters on Saturday.
"We have constantly and repeatedly raised the issue of vaccination discrimination. And it is not only about the US. Our representatives, including diplomats, encounter sometimes even bigger problems working in European countries. The practice of so-called vaccination certificates which would grant the right to freedom of movement, is well-known," Lukyantsev said.
The requirement to hold a vaccination certificate in some countries "poses considerable restrictions and difficulties on the work" of employees of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Europe, according to the Russian official. Lukyantsev cited France, where "the access to state bodies, public transport, trains, and so on is limited," as an example.
