Chechnyas president: I will eliminate the gay community by the start of Ramadan

[SoCalNative]

The president of Chechnya has issued a chilling warning to gay men in the region.

Britain’s deputy foreign secretary revealed the terrifying threat from the Chechen leader while taking an urgent question on the situation in parliament.

Sir Alan Duncan, Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, told parliament: “Human rights groups report that these anti-gay campaigns and killings are orchestrated by the head of the Chechen republic, Ramzan Kadyrov.

“He has carried out other violent campaigns in the past, and this time he is directing his efforts at the LGBT community.

“Sources have said that he wants the [LGBT] community eliminated by the start of Ramadan.”

1. How much money would the Chechnyan's take in an exchange. We could do this.

We can't sit back and allow this to happen. Every human rights organization in the world should be on this. This is insanity. It's genocide. I feel helpless and I know this administration doesn't give a damn about people unless they're a millionaire or billionaire.

2. They need to escape

maybe Justin Trudeau will help.

6. True, and there's the catch-22

Gay folks in such areas cannot apply for asylum elsewhere officially, to do so would equate a death sentence, dragged out in the street the following night and murdered.
And now we have Resident Goombah Frump building border walls and generally making illegal or legal immigration from difficult to impossible, and even trying to dismantle the sanctuary cities safety net for just such seekers.
I know a gay young man in Pakistan who may have to resort to desperate means to escape if things get worse for LGBT there.
But we've tried and failed, even before Frump took over.

5. Nothing will be done by outside groups.

Just shaking of heads and wagging fingers, but nothing of substance will happen to Chechnya.
