Several gay men have gone missing in Chechnya. According to many civil rights activists, many have been detained while the fate of others is unknown.
In local newspapers, it said that these men were detained, "in connection with their non-traditional sexual orientation, or suspicion of such."It has been reported that over 100 gay men have gone missing. 3 have been murdered. Many are shocked that there hasn't been much of an investigations. Several people are not interested in the cases for they are homophobic.I think, homophobic or not, that if 100 people mysteriously went missing, there should be more of an investigation. Hopefully, Chechnya gets over itself and actually tries to make a change.
