Two gay men fled to Russia after escaping alleged torture in Chechnya. On February 3rd, they were seized by Russian police and taken back to Chechen police. Salekh Magamadov and Ismail Isayev, the latter of whom is only 17 years old, escaped the Chechen police in April 2020. They were initially detained for moderating a Telegram channel, an instant messaging app, which exposed the government’s hostile human rights activities. While incarcerated, both men were tortured; and, along with nine other teens, were allegedly compelled to make humiliating “apology videos.” After Magamadov and Isayev successfully escaped Chechnya’s authorities, the LGBT Network facilitated their relocation a few months later to settle in a Russian town. In recent years, several reports of abductions, mass detentions, torture, and human rights violations against gay men in Chechnya have emerged. Ramzan Kadyrov, a regional authoritarian leader, consistently denies the reports. He also declared that no LGBT people exist in Russia’s North Caucasus, which is predominantly Muslim.
