Chechen Parliament refuses to discuss report on gays' persecutions

The Parliament of the Chechen Republic doesn't give a toss about the data presented in the report of the Human Rights Watch (HRW), Delimkhan Djamaldinov, the spokesman of the Secretariat, has stated. The Speaker Magomed Daudov has no intent to react to the publication.

According to Djamaldinov, the HRW's report on facts of mass torture in Chechnya is not a serious issue and deserves no discussion by the MPs.

"Media write whatever they want, and if to react to everything – we just spit at what some European fed-up corrupt journalists write," the spokesman of the Secretariat of the Chechen Parliament said today on air of the "Moscow Speaking" radio station.

The HRW's report "They have long arms; and they will find me. Raid on gays in Chechnya in the spring of 2017" was published today, on May 26, in the Section "Reports" of the "Caucasian Knot".

The report notes that in late February 2017, Chechen power agents launched a real gay hunt in the republic. "The head of the ChechenRepublic, Ramzan Kadyrov, asserts that there were no raids; however, the information presented in the report indicates that the raids were sanctioned by the republic's leadership," the report says.

Full text of the article is available on the Russian page of 24/7 Internet agency ‘Caucasian Knot’.
