Closed Begin an operation to evacuate members of LGBT+ community in Chechnya.

Closed on

Hundreds of gay men in Chechnya have been being attacked and/or killed by law for their sexual orientation. The UK acknowledges that sexual orientation is not choice & equality of LGBT+ people is basic human right. We should stand up for these innocents-offering an evacuation scheme to protect them.

Just some of the reports on this horrific attack on basic human rights:
