Russia’s MMA Leader Has Opened Concentration Camps For Gay Men

Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov has formed a grand interest in mixed martial arts, even going as far as to invite Floyd Mayweather Jr. to watch his controversial underage MMA fighting competition. Kadyrov is also pulling interest into the Russian world of MMA from top level professionals of the UFC and Bellator MMA.

Now, the dictator is enforcing concentration camps for homosexual men in Chechnya.

Pink News has the scoop:

“Gay men arrested in a ‘purge’ in the Russian region of Chechnya are being held in concentration camp-style prisons, reports have alleged.

Early reports emerged earlier this month that gay people are being targeted in the region, which is part of Russia but has substantial autonomy.

Russian newspapers and human rights groups report that more than 100 gay men have been detained “in connection with their non-traditional sexual orientation, or suspicion of such” as part of a purge. Several people were also reportedly feared dead following violent raids.

In a chilling response, a Chechen government spokesperson denied that there are any gay people to detain, insisting that ‘you can’t detain and harass someone who doesn’t exist in the republic’. The Kremlin denied any knowledge of a purge.

But reports have since emerged that the men arrested are being kept in horrific concentration camp prisons, where violent abuse and torture is common.”
