The Chechen government is detaining homosexuals in concentration camps where they are tortured and killed
GAYLES.TV.- The Chechen government led by Ramzán Kadirov has started a purge of homosexuals in its territory that aims to make them disappear completely from the North Caucasian republic. A former military complex has been enabled in Argún as a detention center, a real full-fledged concentration camp where homosexuals are placed in subhuman conditions. Those who have managed to talk about overcrowded 30 to 40 men per room where electric shocks and beatings are applied to them to betray other gais or to make them promise to leave the republic.
The warning was given at the beginning of the month by an opposition publication to the Chechen regime, "Nóvaya Gazeta", with an article whose author, Elena Milashina spoke of more than "one hundred men of non-traditional sexual orientation or suspected of being sexual" who are being "hunted" in massive raids and also "honor killings" driven by the Chechen government. The author of the text could officially confirm 3 dead but suspects that they could be many more. The endorsement of this information comes no less than the Ministry of Interior of Chechnya, the prosecution, the FSB (former KGB) and of course militants LGTB.
The response to this information has been given by the official spokesman Alvi Karimov with a cynicism that exceeds all limits, according to Karimov. "You can not arrest or repress people who (here in Chechnya) do not exist. If there were such people, the security forces would not have to take care of them, since their own relatives would have sent them to a place where they could never return. "
Among the detainees there would be people close to the mufti (local religious authority) and two Chechen television presenters. Those who have been released say that they are subjected to a type of torture in which they are forced to sit on a bottle until they swear to leave the country.
Panic has taken hold of social networks where gays are very active in terms of contacts and groups due to the prohibitions present in the Russian Federation. Groups and profiles are closed and everyone is suspicious of everyone since apparently the forces of order have been setting traps to locate gays by creating false profiles.
The origin of this extreme mobilization was the request of members of the collective LGTBI of permissions to realize marches in the Gay Pride knowing that he would be denied them. The purpose was to collect refusals to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The petitions, interestingly enough, did not appear in Chechnya but in the neighbor Kabardino-Balkaria.
Information has been leaked that would point in the line that the Chechen government would be applying a "Plan for the final solution of the homosexual question" which would go through "a complete cleansing of Chechnya from non-traditional sexual orientation men." To look like the Argún would not be the only concentration camp but would have enabled various fields.
In view of the seriousness of these events, San Petersburgo Attempts are being made to set up an anonymous helpdesk to evacuate those who require it from the Chechen Republic. The raids are taking place in the capital Grozny but also in other areas and do not distinguish between ages or professional profile.
