UN rights experts on Wednesday urged Russia to “act urgently to protect the rights of people who are, or are perceived to be, lesbian, gay or bisexual in Chechnya, and investigate allegations of human rights abuses including two reported deaths.”
The experts expressed concern over reported arrests of people “who are, or are perceived to be, lesbian, gay or bisexual” as well as “allegations of torture in detention in Argun and Grozny.” They also expressed concern over reports that Chechen authorities “are also reportedly now trying to prevent victims from fleeing the region or filing complaints,” through various means.
They expressed these concerns in writing, echoing their concerns in an April 2017 letter regarding “allegations of unlawful detention, torture and extrajudicial killing of men perceived to be gay or bisexual in Chechnya.”
