“Good, in quotation marks, people write about the fact that we have a republic - even to talk about it is inconvenient - they are delayed, they are killed. They even named one surname - Tepsurkayev Has, he, so to speak, is the main person according to ideology, Sufi. They said that he was killed and he was at home. He was at first insulted him with direct text, then he was killed, and he was alive at home.

On April 1 and 5, two articles by Elena Milashina on the brutal persecution of gays in Chechnya were published in Novaya. The journalist wrote about mass detentions, torture and murders of homosexuals. Then, several media outlets appeared evidence of the victims of persecution from Chechnya.

Thus, the Mufti of Chechnya Salah Mezhiev said that the authors of publications on the persecution of homosexuals would suffer "Allah's retribution." Adam Shakhidov, adviser to Kadyrov on religious issues, said that Novaya Gazeta journalists will have to “ask for forgiveness on their knees” if they cannot prove the fact of persecution of homosexuals in the region.
