'Gay's locked up in concentration camp '

argun - Gay men should be detained in Chechnya in 'camps' where they are regularly tortured. That claim human rights organizations.

The allegations follow the news last week came out through the Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta that hundreds of gay men were arrested and imprisoned in the country. According to the newspaper, there are also killing people.

A spokesman for Chechen leader Kadyrov denied those allegations. He claimed there were no gays in the country. 'You can not pick up or prosecute people if they do not exist in our republic,' said spokesman Alvi Karimov against press agency Interfax. 'If such people were to be in Chechnya, that would not take care of the police because their own relatives would have sent them away for a long time to a place where they can never come back. '

According to the Russian LGBT Network, there are eyewitness accounts of people who managed to escape from the camps. 'They were detained with 30 or 40 men in a room. They are tortured with electricity and beaten hard, sometimes they die, 'says Svetlana Zakharova of the organization from the Daily Mail. The men were forced to sit on bottles.
