Petition Investigate if Chechnya is arresting gay citizens and detaining them in camps.

Reports from Chechnya say that gay men are being arrested and detained in concentration-style camps “in connection with their non-traditional sexual orientation, or suspicion of such” as part of a purge.
The UK government needs to rigorously investigate these reports and intervene if they are true.
