The first piece of information I have come across about Chechnya is a website which had created a petition on the subject of killings and abuse of gay people.

Below is a section of tex from the website which confiorms that people are being tortured and killed for being gay.
The point of this website seems to be about using politics, public awareness and law enfocment to fight back against the death abd abuse to innocent people.
This shows that public action is already being taken on a global scale, which I think is very important to this subject.

The next piece of infomation which I came across is on a subject which links to protest action against Chenchya. Gay activists arrived in chenchya to deilver ant protest infomation and posters, until the gay rights activists were detaioned and arrested by Chenchya police for participating in 'unauthorisd action'. Meaning that the information thast tjey were delivering did not even make it to it's oplanned destination.

A video of the inccident was posted by 'BBC news'.
Here you can basically see the enterity of events.

The next piece of information which I have come across focuses more on the subject of
gay people in Chenchya who are attmpting to flee the country and the continued abuse. This report is quite shocking as it talks about the US denying visa's to these men, meaning they are unable to leave the country.
Which is quite a shocking report as so many western countries, including the US have stated how 'disgusted' they are about the events in Chenchya, so it does not really make sense that the US are denying these men access to the country.
