Chechen authorities have arrested, and tortured, around 100 men, and killed three people suspected of homosexuality, according to the Russian newspaper Novaja Gazeta. Although activists believe many more are dead.

Two television reporters, a waiter, and numerous other men ranging in age from 16 to 50 have been reported missing from the state of Chechnya, in Russia.

A spokesman for Chechnya’s leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, denied the report by the newspaper, calling the article “absolute lies and disinformation.” Do these words sound familiar? :thinking:

''It is difficult to overstate just how vulnerable LGBT people are in Chechnya, where homophobia is intense and rampant'', wrote Tanya Lokshina in her article ''Anti-LGBT violence in Chechnya'', published in Open Democracy yesterday.

Oh, just awful...

But the one beautiful thing is that you're keeping me and all others on GH informed! I know I didn't get this info from Swedish TV - I got it from you, on GH!

So thanks a lot for all your work haiducii!!!

Chechnya Is Torturing Gay Men in Concentration Camps

In recent weeks, reports have come to light about a vicious campaign in Chechnya, in which at least 100 gay men have been arrested and three have been killed in the Russian region.

One eyewitness told Novaya Gazeta, a Moscow-based Russian newspaper, that this campaign includes concentration camps, the likes of which haven't been seen since the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.

A reported survivor of a camp set up in a former military base in Argun said he was tortured and interrogated by Chechen officials, who demanded to know the names of more gay men. To this end, they confiscated his phone and targeted his contacts, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Sources claimed that "interrogation" tactics included electro-shock torture and violent beatings. Detainees are reportedly being ransomed to their families, which are selling possessions and property to save loved ones.

Well the situation in Chechnya has been mentioned in Swedish TV the last few days, but haiducii made his original post in this thread on 5 April - that's 11 days ago.

This is fascism, whether political or religious its an attack on all gay people and on democracy. In London there was a protest outside the Russian embassy telling them to do something to stop this state murder. In the UK we have online petitions to the government calling on them to provide a safe haven for those fleeing persecution. Its time for those of us living in freedom to stand up for ourselves and others by writing , petitioning and protesting, do whatever you can safely do to tell the fascists that they will not win.
