The first gay Chechen to get a humanitarian visa arrived in Germany on Tuesday.

Taking a page from Donald Trump, the Chechen president says the well documented atrocities are fake news.

France has taken in its first gay refugee from Chechnya, and one activist is saying that this won’t be the last.

Someone sicced spam bots to reduce the visibility of a video about Chechnya’s brutal oppression of gay and bi men.

This man reportedly not only orchestrated the torture of gay and bisexual men but some survivors say he liked to watch.

One top police official even suggested that a gay parade could take place in Chechnya and no one would harm the participants.

Chechen gay and bisexual men are being rounded up, falsely imprisoned, beaten, and killed.

A Russian official says nothing happened in Chechnya, and Donald Trump let them get away with it.

Putin agreed to look into what he called “the well-known information, or rumors” about what is happening to people “with a non-traditional sexual orientation.”

“It’s a feeling like they are breaking every bone of every joint in your body at the same time.”

The president of Chechnya wants to eliminate gay and bisexual men in Chechnya by Ramadan.

Another example of Russian oppression and suppression as officers in riot gear drag away demonstrators.

Weeks after revealing Chechen officials were running two concentration camp-type prisons for gays, a Russian investigative newspaper has uncovered more.

An already dire situation in Chechnya is ramping up, and neither its president nor Russian President Vladimir Putin are admitting there’s an issue.

Putin’s spokesman says the Russian president has no reason to doubt the Chechen leader’s assurances that there’s no persecution of gays in his republic.

One man says his captors literally tried to shock him into revealing the names of his gay friends.

“This violation of human rights cannot be ignored… We are against all forms of discrimination, including against people based on sexual orientation.”

The former Vice President had strong words for Donald Trump about standing up for human rights.

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said that human rights rights have undergone a “grandiose” improvement in Muslim-majority Chechnya.

Meanwhile, the female journalist who broke the story has gone into hiding because of death threats.
