The victims are not reported

The Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova said that the TFR did not find evidence of the persecution of homosexuals in Chechnya, since the department does not have “specific data” about the victims. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“I received such an answer, which says that they did not establish facts confirming violent actions against persons, due to the fact that they have no specific data on these citizens,” Moskalkova said.

The commercials noted that the answer received by her is an intermediate, and the verification will continue. “At the same time, since my request and the letter that I sent from the“ Novaya Gazeta ”contains the names of the people who were allegedly killed, the audit on this is not considered complete.
