@tariqk Yeahh. So in the same article: "The press secretary for Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic, described the report as "lies" and stated there were no gay people in Chechnya.
"If there were such people in Chechnya, law-enforcement agencies wouldn't need to have anything to do with them because their relatives would send them somewhere from which there is no returning," he said."
So pretty sure writing them back is not going to do much.
Russia, Chechnya, murderous homophobia Show more
@tats I think at this point it's a matter of pressuring governments and corporations to boycott the fuck out of the Russian Federation, and subject them to economic sanctions against what is very clearly genocide. This'll be a challenge, and in the meantime, people die.
