Harrowing details of Chechnya's capture and torture of gay men have been heard for the first time.
A young Russian man has come forward to tell of his 12 days locked in a blood-soaked jail cell in Chechnya where he was beaten, reportedly for being gay.
Max Lapunov, 30, went public with his story on Monday.
He told reporters of his head being covered with a plastic bag while he was tortured by police offers who demanded he confess to being a homosexual.
He is the first person to make a formal complaint about what has been called a "gay pogrom" in which up to 100 people were attacked by Chechen police.
He was picked up near a mall where he was selling balloons in Chechnya's capital Grozny.
After refusing to confess to being gay, Lapunov said he was led into a jail cell soaked with blood.
A plastic bag with just a hole to breathe through was placed over his head and his face was forced against a wall while officers beat his legs, hips, buttocks and back.
"I thought they would kill me no matter what happened," he said, The Washington Post reports.

Putin's a pedo. Back in the real world gays are riding on cloud nine. Hopefully you'll catch up, stank puss

good thing I don't live in ape-infested shithole otherwise, the picture isn't wrong; if they weren't protected by government, they'd see themselves shoahed and fast
Luke Gutierrez
I agree with killing fags but this guy sounds like he may have actually been falsely accused. We need to make sure we don't kill any innocents along with the fags
Tyler Phillips
You don’t like mountain niggers?

Imagine having the power to transport an entire flaming gay pride parade in San Francisco or Toronto complete with faggots dildoing themselves on top of floats, to a place like Grozny. And watching the televised result.

>it's another lgbt shill thread Hmm...not sure if pure shitposting or there's something to cover up. Or maybe just trying too hard at trying to force Navalny & co for 2018, notice how BBC has launched BBC Russia yesterday, whatever, they might not understand that only Russians will vote in said election, why shilling the fahs worldwide again, didn't work for Sochi and St.Petersburg and won't work this time. Russian comments under DW Russia and BBC say it all. Plus accusing Chechnya can fire back if you meme it into islamophobia or call out EU and USA on their ties with their rich oil Arabic and other Muslim countries doing worse for both women and fags and religious minorities. Will be fun.
