Let the LGBTQ+ people of Chechnya flee to England to escape Concentration Camps.
Chechnya has opened the world's first concentration camp for homosexuals since Hitler where campaigners say gay men are being tortured with electric shocks and beaten to death. It is claimed that among those detained are well-known local television personalities and religious figures.
You can read an article covered by The Daily Mail for more information.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In accordance with international obligations, a well-founded fear of persecution on account of sexual orientation or gender identity is already one of the grounds on which asylum can be granted. It is not clear what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
If you would like the UK Government to offer automatic asylum to LGBT people from Russia, you might like to sign this petition instead:
